Week 16

During this week, I wrote up a news release about the success of the Oklahoma team at the National Mock Trial Competition. I also created a distribution list for the release. This internship has given me very practical knowledge about working with the Finder Binder, creating useful releases and pitching them to the appropriate media.

I also wrapped up compiling the Bench & Bar Briefs section of the OBJ, this week. Another practical skill this internship has provided me with is detail-oriented editing and proof reading. For the OBJ, I also created cut lines to be used in the photo highlights section featuring various Ask A Lawyer and Law Day events, hosted by county bar associations.

As a follow up to the Law Day contests, I put together packets to be sent out to all first place winners and their families. I wrote up a memo, explaining what the packet contained to go along with a copy of the OBJ Law Day issue, which featured the winners' work, a photo of all winners at the State Capitol with the Okla. Supreme Court Chief Justice and a DVD copy of the Ask A Lawyer program that aired on OETA.
