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.
