> This disclaimer mitigates zero legal risk (the only real legal risk a publication has is copyright infringement and defamation, neither of which a disclaimer will help with). Instead, it's a PR and marketing tool the publication can use to say to someone who is upset about the contents of an article that they should hold it against the author and not the publication.
Well, yeah. If someone follows a practice pushed in the article and gets injured, then the disclaimer can afford some protection to the publication. I am supposing that the disclaimer follows the language in Bill's post, ie,
> I would think that any article expresses the views of the author and may not agree with the views of the editorial staff
...although, I agree, it would be better if it said "publication" or ABJ rather than "editorial staff."
