Berkman Center Launches Initiative to Provide Pro Bono Legal Help to Online Journalists
Harvard’s Berkman Center recently launched the Online Media Legal Network (OMLN), a U.S. network of top law firms, law schools, in-house counsel, and lawyers willing to provide pro bono legal assistance to “qualifying online journalism ventures and other digital media creators.” Part of the Center’s Citizen Media Law Project, OMLN’s website allows lawyers to submit an application to provide legal assistance and clients to request legal help. Services include business formation and governance, copyright and fair use, access to government information, and employment issues, among others. A press release about the Network’s launch is available here. -M
