Law School launches new Web site

The IU Maurer School of Law’s Center on the Global Legal Profession has launched a new Web site to provide up-to-the-minute news about developments in the legal profession.

The site also features blogs from professor William Henderson, the center’s director, and allows international visitors to translate the site into any of the 26 languages available.

“It is important for us to ensure the Center on the Global Legal Profession has a true global reach,” Henderson said in an IU press release. “We are working diligently to become a world leader in the study of attorneys and our profession across the globe. It is only fitting that a center with that aspiration be immediately accessible from anywhere in the world. The CGLP site accomplishes that, and we plan to do even more very soon.”

The Center, based in Bloomington, works to understand all aspects of the legal profession, including anything from the first year of education to retired attorneys.

“Our new Web site, much like the center itself, is still early in its development,” professor Jay Krishnan said in the release. “The site will serve as a hub that unites all the various pieces we have in place. From Bill’s posts about traveling to India to the latest blog entries from top bloggers and news sources, we’ve built something that we hope will become the place to find and share developments on the legal profession.”
