The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee is rapidly approaching, and Godfrey & Kahn will be making media hotline lawyers available 24/7 in the days immediately before, during, and for a few days after the July 15-18 convention sessions with their cell phone numbers.
For years, Godfrey & Kahn has represented state and national journalists and the Wisconsin Newspaper Association on a range of First Amendment issues, including coverage and access questions, defamation, open records and meetings under state law, and unwarranted arrests and limitations. While most of those issues ultimately are resolved in court, federal or state, the immediacy of the convention may well require more immediate legal responses.
