Dear LAW-LIBers,
In case you haven't heard, JURIST (http://jurist.law.pitt.edu) - the non-profit, law student-powered legal news and research site headquartered at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law - has been nominated in New York for a prestigious Webby Award as best Law website of 2008!
Our competition includes the website of the ABA Journal (the world's largest circulation law magazine!) and the recruiting website for Shearman & Sterling.
The students and I hope you'll help JURIST win the Webby People's Voice Award (the Webby decided by online popular vote - there's also a judges' prize) by casting a vote for us. Here's how:
1. Go to http://pv.webbyawards.com/account/signup and register to vote;
2. Once you register, an activation code will be sent to your email (check to make sure it's not misdirected to your "junk" folder);
3. Log on to http://pv.webbyawards.com/ and click on "Website: Vote now";
4. Scroll down to "Society" and click on the "Law" category;
5. Vote for JURIST!
The process just takes a couple of minutes.
Once you've voted yourself, *please* spread the word to colleagues at your own and other institutions (or on other listservs!), friends, students and family - anyone you think should know about JURIST and the public service our law students perform every day by providing thoroughly-documented legal news and expert commentary to tens of thousands of readers worldwide, all for free and without advertising.
Voting ends this Thursday, May 1; Webby winners will be announced in New York May 6.
Our students thank you for your support (as do I)!
Best wishes,
Bernard
