Amy Cook: Defamation (Libel)

What constitutes defamation?
  • Injury to a person's reputation
  • Only living people may sue for defamation
  • Must prove that he/she is identifiable to reader by setting, physical description, etc.
  • Changing names is not enough (Amy has lots of exclamation points behind this note)
  • Truth is a defense to a defamation claim
