PLI Press Call for Student Papers

Practising Law Institute (PLI) is pleased to announce our first call for law student papers.

The PLI Chronicle is an open-access periodical available exclusively on PLI PLUS, the award-winning legal research platform of PLI Press. The Chronicle delivers timely and relevant discussions on hot topics — from laws, regulations, and policies, to industry developments and cutting-edge issues, to commentary on working in the legal and accounting industries. Check out the latest edition of the PLI Chronicle here.

Writing for the PLI Chronicle gives law students a direct line to PLI’s extensive userbase of 450,000 legal professionals — including 95% of Am Law 100 members, educators, government regulators, and thought leaders. This is a great opportunity for students looking to amplify their voices and connect with the minds that shape today’s legal landscape.

Recommended Reading: Special Edition of Coach’s Counsel for First-Year Law Students

Students entering law school must adjust and adhere to a new, demanding set of educational standards and strategies. This can often be a huge transition for first-year students, which is why we are excited about the Coach’s Counsel column, How to Prepare for Your Law School Journey, published in a recent issue of PLI Chronicle: Insights and Perspectives for the Legal Community.

In the column, coaches Natalie Loeb and David Sarnoff offer valuable wisdom on developing practical strategies to maximize academic performance and maintain balance. The coaches suggest methods for time management and strategic planning and reflect on resources that are often underutilized during law school. They also identify the specific type of mindset crucial for success. The column, like all content published in the PLI Chronicle, is available to everyone — no subscription required.

Recommended Reading: Erin Pulaski’s Article in July’s PLI Chronicle

New pay transparency laws are coming into effect across the nation, which is why we are excited about Erin Pulaski’s article, Bringing Pay Data into the Sunlight: California’s New Pay Transparency Protections, published in July’s issue of PLI Chronicle: Insights and Perspectives for the Legal Community.**

The article serves as an excellent primer on how the recently enacted Senate Bill 1162 impacts employers and employees in California. It reviews California’s existing protections, describes the changes imposed by the new law, and answers questions about pay data confidentiality and remote employees. Pulaski, a partner at Rudy, Exelrod, Zieff & Lowe LLP, regularly represents employees and executives in all aspects of individual and class action employment litigation. She is co-author, along with Lindsay Hutner, a shareholder at Greenberg Traurig LLP, of PLI’s recently published California Employment Law treatise.

**Articles published in the PLI Chronicle are available to everyone. Check out July’s issue: PLI Chronicle: July 2023.
