The Online Media Legal Network

This week continues my push to get more attorneys involved with the Online Media Legal Network, a pro bono initiative that provides online journalists with free and reduced-fee legal assistance. It's been nice combining my old life and my new one in this manner, reaching out to journalism foundations and media/nonprofit attorneys to be part of the project. I've seen some strong interest from attorneys who also think media law is their calling. Hopefully a few of them will remember my name in about a year!

Aside from my various Berkman-related projects, the past week has been full — the Berkterns have been quite sociable, with a Kentucky-themed gathering on Saturday (hosted by another fellow Kentuckian Berktern, what are the odds?).

I also started a trek along the freedom trail, which over its 2.5 miles takes tourists through an array of historic sites, including Paul Revere's tomb AND his house, the old city hall, the USS Constitution and several other spots.


This is the plaque outside the Cranary Graveyard, one stop along the Freedom Trail.

I hope to continue over the next couple of weeks, if the weather will allow.
