Editor's Note
We have a lot planned for 2007, and it begins with the addition of several new members to our Board of Editors. With this issue we welcome Christy Burke, the Founder of Burke & Company who, beginning with this issue, will write The Place to Network Column. Christy assumes columnist duties from Olivia Fox Cabane, who remains on our Board of Editors. We also welcome Jennifer Johnson of Wisnik Career Enterprises, Inc. Jennifer and Eva Wisnik will be providing the content on an exclusive basis for the new Career Journal, which premiers above. Joining Christy and Jennifer are Theresa Jaffe, Chief Marketing Officer of Jenner & Block; Beth Cuzzone, Director of Business Development at Goulston & Storrs; and John Buchanan, Director of Global Communications at O'Melveny & Myers. We say goodbye to Kevin Brown, Darryl Cross, Richard Levick and Trey Ryder, and thank them for their past contributions to Marketing The Law Firm.
As you know, we have an outstanding group of regular columnists who write for us on a bi-monthly basis, including Chuck and Evan Polin, Practice Building Skills; Mel Morrione, Corner Office; Joshua Fruchter and Nancy Manzo, Technology in Market-ing; Christy Burke, The Place to Net-work; and Silvia Coulter who, together with her selected columnists, writes Sales and Service. Beginning this year, Jaffe Associates will write its Media & Communications column on a bi-monthly basis beginning with the March issue. Jaffe's new series on the 'Confluence of Media, Communications and Business Development' is sure to be a 'must read'. We also say goodbye to Steve Meyerowitz, who contributed a great wealth of information with his 'Meyerowitz on Marketing' column for two years. Steve will continue to write for us on a less formal basis.
As for me, above and beyond my duties as Editor-in-Chief, I will oversee two special issues: The Third Annual MLF 50 and The Second Annual Best of Law Firm Leaders in Marketing. These promise to generate a lot of buzz in our community, and I look forward to working on these projects. In coming issues I will also continue to profile more of 2006 MLF 50 firmsand contributing my Op Ed pieces.

The Article 8 Opt In

Strategy vs. Tactics: Two Sides of a Difficult Coin
With each successive large-scale cyber attack, it is slowly becoming clear that ransomware attacks are targeting the critical infrastructure of the most powerful country on the planet. Understanding the strategy, and tactics of our opponents, as well as the strategy and the tactics we implement as a response are vital to victory.

Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
