A day does not pass when TMZ is not reporting a celebrity in crisis. From arrests to public displays of out-of-control behavior, to everything in between, it seems like the press cannot get enough of celebrity "scandal". Join us for a lively discussion with three of this countries' leading lawyers and media experts in the field of managing celebrities in crisis. What are the legal and ethical issues that arise when an attorney is presented with a client in a publicized crisis? How do we go about navigating legal waters for celebrity clients who are in legal and personal peril? What role can counsel and media professionals play in managing the crisis and helping the celebrity client to move on from the crisis in a productive way?

This panel qualifies for 1.5 Ethic credits.
