Making the Pitch

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend the March 10 webinar with Christine Charnosky, the newly named Legal Education Reporter for Law.com. Christine is our law school go-to reporter for all our academic news! Moderator Liz Field discussed with Christine how law schools could pitch to her, what kinds of stories she is interested in writing, and trends she is following. Watch the replay here. Follow Christine on LinkedIn.
