Duke President Richard Brodhead's comments relating to the Duke Lacrosse case during The Court of Public Opinion conference.

What catapults a case into the media spotlight? Who is responsible for focusing media and public attention on a particular case? Once a case gains high-profile status, what are the professional and ethical roles and responsibilities of members of the media, the bar, and the institutions involved?
