Ground rules

What we will not discuss

These limits are not media strategy. They are the obligations that make the work possible, and they hold on a stage as much as in print.

  • ClientsAny client, current or former, including whether an institution is a client at all.
  • MattersAny live or closed matter, its parties, its findings, or its outcome.
  • PeopleThe identity of any complainant, respondent, witness, or reporting party.
  • AdviceLegal advice, or an opinion on whether a specific institution handled a specific case correctly.

We check facts on the record, and we will not ask to review your copy.
