1. Define the geography before discussing coverage
Those distinctions matter when a news item names a municipality, court, roadway, agency, or statewide rule. A page about a Connecticut legal development may be relevant to a Willimantic firm even when Willimantic is not named. The reverse is also true: a local incident may be newsworthy but outside the firm’s practice or ethical comfort zone. Bosseo’s public Legal News page says its system monitors local and national legal-news sources for a state and matches stories against practice areas. Ask how that geographic scope would be applied to your firm rather than treating Willimantic as a substitute for the whole region.
Recommended approach
List the geographic relationships your attorneys actually serve: Willimantic, the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region, Connecticut statewide matters, and any other areas the firm elects to name. Use that list to review sample story categories and decide which locations justify an attorney explanation.
