National Jurist - October 2008 - (Page 6) FROMTHEEDITOR New school year, new content Every year, we try to expand how we deliver our news. And this year is no different. Through innovative media and inspiring content, NationalJurist.com delivers 24-hour access to detailed listings, news and insightful advice for both law and pre-law students. Last year, The National Jurist and preLaw websites combined into one site. We went back to the drawing board and have re-launched a site providing more content, detailed information and easier directionals. With ever-advancing technology, students are relying more on the web for the latest in law school news and advice. To keep up with the fast-paced news world, we have incorporated an editor’s blog — Advice & Consent — covering the critical issues in legal education. Law School 360 is now your one-stop shop to what’s going on at law schools across the United States and abroad. For career related questions, be sure to check out our Career Hotline blog both online and continued in print. These new media, when combined with traditional print, deliver a compelling mix of storytelling styles. Overall, we still continue to focus on strong storytelling about people and law schools, including the latest in legal education. This issue of The National Jurist will offer insight into how your law school compares in giving out the most money in terms of scholarships and grants, the best firms for work-life balance and your guide to LL.M. programs at law schools across the country. Be sure to check out expanded listing information included in our Ultimate Guide to LL.M. Programs on our website. There you will find 197 programs open to U.S. law students, which include detailed program information including application requirements, externship opportunities and contact information. There is no other place where you can find all this information in one place. Finding work-life balance is becoming even more prevalent in the work place today.
