Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February, has resulted in the displacement of millions of Ukrainians. The responses taken by governments around the world – such as the activation of the Temporary Protection Directive by the EU – and the challenges being faced have prompted questions around how best to assist displaced people, while the situation has also highlighted the continuing plight of refugees from Afghanistan and other crisis zones.  In this Global Insight podcast, we explore the unprecedented reaction to the plight of Ukrainian refugees and the need for a coordinated, compassionate international response, and assess the situation for displaced people from other conflict zones, such as Afghanistan. Discussing these issues are:   Matt Saltmarsh, Head of News and Media for the UN's refugee agency, UNHCR; Greg Siskind, Vice-Chair of the IBA Immigration and Nationality Law Committee and a founding partner at Siskind Susser in Memphis; and Alex Stojicevic, Refugee Officer of the IBA Immigration and Nationality Law Committee and founding and managing partner of MKS Lawyers in Vancouver.

How to get your message out in the court of public opinion. The public, your clients, and the media are not digging through court files so how do you get your client's story out of the courtroom? The answer: PR Ethics of PR: Model Rule 1.6- not disclosing case or client information publicly; Ethics Opinion 480- must have client permission to publicly reveal any case-related information publicly Rule 3.6: Trial Publicity, cannot make statements outside of court that could prejudice a case. (6 months has been ruled as enough time between media coverage and the case for the public to forget about the case).  Protecting your clients (from themselves). Litigation strategy and PR strategy run parallel to one another.  PR in the modern era of search engines- how to navigate technology ahead of the law.  Who needs PR? Criminal Defense, Trial Lawyers, Real Estate, or any other litigator that has or uses public documents.  How to work with reporters:  Create a reporter relationship, Connect with reporters and use comments or the media to your advantage Greg Siskind's reporter outreach via Twitter Help A Reporter Out PR = phone calls, inquiries. They may not be clients but you can be an advocate for your practice area. Position yourself as an expert in your field and practice area.  PR + SEO = opinion summaries are a great way to get links, traffic and more.  Find reporters in your area, likely to cover your practice area. Email them and introduce yourself; who you are, what you do, and how you can help the reporter.  Lawyers have a PR problem and the public perception is often negative.
