Faculty
Besides teaching legal reporting courses and organizing lectures, the program’s faculty offer students advice on their studies and future careers. Which law-related courses on campus would help a future sports reporter? What types of jobs are available in covering crime, and what curriculum makes the most sense? What types of law would a technology writer need to know? We can help you sort out your options.

Director

Roy S. Gutterman is the director of the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.  He returned to Newhouse in the Spring of 2005 as a visiting professor of communications law and journalism. He teaches a variety of media law and journalism classes to undergraduate and graduate students.

As a newspaper reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Gutterman covered local and state government, crime, legal issues and general news.

Gutterman also graduated from Syracuse University's College of Law where he served as editor in chief of the law review. After law school, he clerked for a New Jersey Superior Court judge and practiced business and general litigation.

Gutterman has written and spoken on media law, legal education and writing issues. His book, L.Rev: the Law Review Experience in American Legal Education (Academica Press 2002) is in law school libraries around the world.

His areas of expertise include the First Amendment, Media Law and Communications Law.
