“Libel, Slander, Defamation of Character, and the Right to Privacy”
Writers worry. It’s what we do. One of the things we worry about is getting sued, or worse yet, writing an excellent novel, only to find that the potential liability attached to our work makes it unpublishable. This seminar will discuss the potential liability of a writer when writing about a living person or a person who is deceased but whose name and reputation continue to have commercial value after death; the “actual malice” standard that applies to “public figures;” who is a public figure; the effectiveness of disclaimers; and whether using pseudonyms provide adequate protection.
