NITA Launches Blog on Legal Advocacy Help Extend NITA's Reach into the Blogosphere and Beyond
Louisville, Colorado (April 2, 2008)—Welcome to the 2008 extension of Nita City into the virtual world, and the new National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) blog. Located at http://TheNitaBlog.blogspot.com, the NITA Blog is a place for the legal community to interact on a variety of topics that improve the practice of law and promote effective advocacy.
“Part of what makes the NITA experience so worthwhile is the faculty,” said Sara Musfeldt, NITA’s Marketing Communications Manager. “Now, with a blog our program alumni can communicate with faculty on legal issues, be it NITA-related or otherwise, long after the program is over.”
By visiting or subscribing to the NITA Blog, readers receive practice tips, view photos from NITA programs and events, learn about news relating to NITA, and hear about new programs and publications of interest to our community. It also gives visitors an opportunity to comment on any part of the blog and the ability to connect with NITA alumni and faculty to share thoughts and ask questions. Most importantly, the NITA Blog provides a means of exchanging information in order to improve the world of legal advocacy.
NITA invites guest bloggers to write for The NITA Blog, comment on existing submissions and for other bloggers to link to the site. If you have any questions on how to participate, please contact Sara Musfeldt at mailto: smusfeldt@nita.org.

About NITA
The National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) is the nation’s leading provider of legal advocacy skills training. A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization based in Louisville, Colorado, NITA pioneered the legal skills learning-by-doing methodology over thirty-five years ago and has since remained the ultimate standard in continuing legal education. With an average student/faculty ratio of 4:1 and an all-volunteer faculty drawn from a cadre of judges, law professors, and practicing attorneys, NITA’s multi-day “boot camps” deliver unparalleled professional development for nearly 6,000 attorneys each year. As a public service organization, NITA provides, at little or no cost, the same high-caliber training we provide to the nation’s largest firms to legal service attorneys, public defenders, and attorneys who have chosen to work in child advocacy, tribal law, death penalty defense, immigration, domestic violence, and other vital areas of public interest. NITA is also the nation’s third largest publisher of legal publications. NITA’s references, texts, case files, and audio-visual materials are used by thousands of attorneys and are incorporated into the curriculum at over 85 percent of the nation’s law schools.
