LAWLINE.COM Offering Continuing Legal Education

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LAWLINE.COM -- LAWLINE.COM, the leading aggregator and broadcaster of law-related streamed media programming on the Web, announced today that it has begun offering continuing legal education on the Internet in partnership with leading bar associations and other providers of legal education courses. The bar associations will use LAWLINE.COM as a course delivery tool to help their members fulfill annual continuing education requirements that lawyers must meet as a condition of retaining their license to practice.

Managing partner Alan J. Schnurman of Zalman & Schnurman, which formed LAWLINE.COM as an outgrowth of the firm's successful injury, negligence and insurance litigation practice, said, "Webcast courses, while not intended to replace 'in-person' offerings, make it possible for busy attorneys and paralegals to stay current in their practice areas at a time and place that is convenient for them." The site combines audio and video webcasting with downloadable textual materials.

"In addition to its comprehensive program of Continuing Legal Education, LAWLINE.COM offers bar association programs, law-related public affairs programs, information for consumers about the law and advice about how to hire an attorney. LAWLINE.COM also offers a variety of unique advertising opportunities of interest to practicing attorneys, legal publishers, products affiliated with legal services, and general advertisers eager to reach lawyers and their clients.

LAWLINE.COM has the network infrastructure and expertise to deliver or 'stream' hundreds of live and on-demand audio and video programs over the Internet or Intranets to hundreds of thousands of users, and by utilizing the power of the Internet, LAWLINE.COM can reach a much wider audience than has ever been possible, all at little or no cost," Schnurman concluded.
