National District Attorneys Association to join legal blog discussion

The National District Attorneys Association announced yesterday they’ll be joining the ongoing legal blog discussion and feature some of the nation’s leading law bloggers.

…(NDAA) will join some of the nation’s leading legal analysts and commentators in regularly commenting on issues making headlines in a new online blog and discussion forum called Talking Justice. This new feature was launched on February 1, 2007, and is a project of Justice Talking, the award-winning NPR program that airs in nearly 100 public radio markets and in 140 countries around the globe via NPR Worldwide and Armed Forces Radio Network. The NDAA will be featured on the 17th day of each month, and our first commentary will be about the role of the prosecutor ‘What do Prosecutors Do?’ written by Robert P. McCulloch, Prosecuting Attorney in St.Louis Co., MO, and former president of NDAA.

Each day of the week, a new, timely commentary from a distinguished contributor will be posted at Talking Justice. Bloggers from organizations as diverse as the American Tort Reform Association, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Family Research Council, the National Council of Churches, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the National District Attorney’s Association and the satirical group the Capitol Steps will offer up their views about law and American life. Some of the best legal blogs, websites and newspapers, including SCOTUSBlog, FindLaw, the National Law Journal and Jurist will post content as well.

As way of background, Justice Talking, hosted by veteran NPR correspondent Margot Adler, has won 18 national journalism awards. Each program features activists and analysts, personal stories of those affected by the law, and debate on today’s legal issues. Justice Talking is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.
