Vote for Law Student Run JURIST in Webbys

By Josh

Hi LoaLS Readers,

I am a 1L at the University of Pittsburgh, and avid LoaLS reader.   As I told Neil in my e-mail, the resources he has have been extremely helpful to me in my first year.  Neil is letting me post here about the 2008 Webby Awards and JURIST, the site I write for.  JURIST was nominated this year for a Webby in the law category.

As a Webby Award nominee, JURIST is also eligible to win a People’s Voice Award. I am writing here to ask you to vote for JURIST. JURIST is up against the ABA Journal, a Goliath to JURIST’s David.  However, with help from the law student online community like LoaLS readers, I believe JURIST can win the award.

Voting on Webby nominees is open to the public from April 8th to May 1st. To vote for JURIST, go to the “People’s Voice” voting site by clicking here. Register (you may need to scroll down), get the activation code that will be sent to your e-mail account, then log in to the People’s Voice site, click on the “Website” grouping, scroll down to “Society” and vote in the Law category. The process takes just a couple of minutes. It’s easy.

Headquartered at Pitt Law, JURIST is powered by a team of some 45 law student reporters, editors and web developers led by law professor Bernard Hibbitts who volunteer their time and talent to the project, working with leading legal experts from around the world to provide up-to-the minute legal news, primary source research and analysis as an educational service to the public and the legal community.

Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions: josh at joshcamson dot com.

Thanks to Neil for letting me post here!!
