I am very pleased to announce that beginning on January 1 of next year, the Edjurist is going to be a formal partner of the Education Law Association. We at the Edjurist are going to use this as an opportunity to relaunch our blogging efforts, so look for several changes to the platform in the next month or two. 

As part of the relaunch, we will be looking to add some new voices to the blog. If you are interested in being an active contributor to this space, please let me know

Let me just take this opportunity to say that this partnership is the culmination more than a year's worth of discussion about online, open access efforts at ELA. This blog will be one of the primary outlets for that type of information. I am very pleased to see ELA moving in this direction. 

But, also, this partnership is the culmination of nearly a decades worth of blogging. I started blogging when in law school, around 2004, I was told of blogs and immediately looked to subscribe to the education law blog. There was no education law blog. So, I started one. Since then, I have kept this effort going just as a side project. Through the years, several other education law blogs developed, which I was happy to see. However, I always thought a partnership between the Edjurist and ELA was a great opportunity to benefit both organizations, both in bringing ELA into the digital age, but also in making this little side project started nearly a decade ago into a formal partner of the premier education law organization in the world. So, I cannot say how proud I am to finally see my little project reach this point and to work together with ELA and its members to continue bringing great education law information to educators throughout the world.
