INN has partnered with the Student Press Law Center. SPLC offers legal support and training for student journalists and the educators who work with them.

All services are free, including:

• A confidential Legal Hotline where SPLC attorneys answer media law questions and provide prepublication review.
• A network of 250+ pro-bono attorneys on call to assist with legal matters from open-records denials to defamation.
• A library of guides and teaching materials covering a wide range of media-law topics including copyright, libel, privacy and access issues.
• An automated fill-in-the-blanks public records letter generator, keyed to each state’s freedom-of-information statute.

About: The Student Press Law Center promotes, supports and defends the rights of student journalists and their advisers at the high school and college levels. Founded in 1974, SPLC is the only organization in the U.S. devoted to providing free legal help and information to student journalists.
