Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
You
can
comment
on
things
as
long
as
they’re
not
going
to
be
detrimental
to
others
or
derogatory.
It
doesn’t
prohibit
people
from
speaking
out;
it
cautions
them
to
pause
and
think
about
the
ramifications
of
what
they
are
posting.
—
Cari
Brunelle,
founding
partner
of
law
firm
advisory
Baretz+Brunelle,
in
comments
given
to
the
American
Lawyer,
in
the
wake
of
Perkins
Coie’s
decision
to
fire
an
associate
who
made
social
media
comments
about
the
death
of
conservative
activist
Charlie
Kirk.
Brunelle
went
on
to
say
that
social
media
policies
“should
be
aligned
with
your
firm’s
values
and
culture
so
much
that
those
who
see
your
response
think
it
makes
perfect
sense.
When
organizations
don’t
have
a
process
that’s
followed
in
every
circumstance,
their
decisions
can
be
driven
by
emotion
instead.
And
that’s
when
they
get
into
trouble.”
