Free Legal Training for Journalists Offered

The University of South Carolina is accepting applications from print, broadcast and
internet journalists for its Media Law School program, which provides the opportunity
to develop a basic understanding of the law and legal system so that participants can
report accurately on the many important legal issues in the news.


The program will be held March 26-27, 2026, on the University of South Carolina
campus in Columbia, S.C. Applications for the program are due Feb. 13.


There is no registration fee for the program, and fellows receive a travel allowance of
up to $500, three nights hotel lodging and selected meals during the conference. The
program is funded by the American Board of Trial Advocates and the American Board
of Trial Advocates Foundation.
