Lawline.com’s second annual faculty event kicked off with great success last night, November 17, at the Hudson Terrace. The night was dedicated to Lawline.com faculty who do so much to bring the highest level programs to attorneys all over the country. Lawline.com employees and faculty alike showed their elation at the success of the company, happy to bring important material to such a wide audience. 

With the support of great programs and presenters in 2010, Lawline.com has pushed to new heights with over 250 new courses and 140 faculty members. These programs are watched in 40 states by thousands of attorneys. The phenomenal growth of Lawline.com has only been possible with the excellent content provided by faculty members, who have gone above and beyond to bring programs that are timely and relevant to practicing attorneys nationwide.     

Awards were given to the six faculty with the most popular or unique programs on Lawline.com. Ben Brafman, who has defended such high profile clients as Michael Jackson and Plaxico Burress, was given a lifetime achievement award, as he was one of the first presenters at Lawline.com in the late 1990s. Ardra O’Neal, a highly skilled and experienced attorney in the area of labor and employment law, accepted an award for Best Lawline.com Customer-Turned-Presenter. Also accepting awards were Rocco Cipparone, for Most Popular New Presenter, Melissa Gomez, for Best Non-Attorney Presenter, and Andrew Smiley, for Most Creative Presenter.

Lawline.com President David Schnurman was clearly touched by the turnout. He thanked the faculty for helping him develop and expand the company, bringing more attorneys’ knowledge and experience together. Schnurman also took a minute to mention new Lawline.com products, like the mobile app that is set to be released at the end of the week for iPhone, iPad and other smart phones. Looking forward Schnurman expects to continue growing Lawline.com in 2011, always looking for a better way to bring attorneys the highest quality programs and information that affects them.
