Walsh Associate Carmen I. Abrazado Authors Article in IADC Defense Counsel Journal
The Defense Counsel Journal, a law review of the International Association of Defense Counsel, published You Can’t Unring the Bell: No Duty in Negligence to Remove a Defamatory Statement Published by Mass Media, authored by Walsh associate Carmen I. Abrazado.
The article explains that under the single publication rule, a defamed person cannot sue for negligence based on a publisher’s failure to remove an online defamatory statement, because all reputational harm is legally tied to the original publication and must be pursued solely through defamation law.
