Legally Speaking
Spring 2009
Segments in NEW 305 and NEW 405 classes
A Carnegie Legal Reporting Program instructor teaches two types of legal-reporting tactics in existing news reporting classes.

In NEW 305, we explore how to find stories on any Syracuse University beat using legal-reporting methods and public documents. How does knowledge of the legal system and government records turn up original, groundbreaking stories on any topic?

In NEW 405, we discuss nuts-and-bolts courts reporting: how to use people and documents to tell stories about specific court cases, or on the justice system in general.
