Student Press Law Center Memberships
For the first time in its 25-year history, the Student Press Law Center now offers
annual memberships.* The SPLC is the only national, nonprofit resource center that educates and assists student
journalists and their teachers/advisers on media law, censorship and other free-expression. Since its founding in
1974, the SPLC has been a leading advocate for student press rights and responsibilities in secondary schools and
colleges and universities throughout the United States. Join today and support the important work of the SPLC.
Memberships benefits include:
- Subscription to the SPLC Report,a three-times-yearly magazine that keeps you informed of all the changes in
student media law and challenges to student free expression in schools and colleges in the United States.
- Legal Alert, members-only monthly (school-year) bulletin, that will be sent to your e-mail address.
- Discount of 10 percent on one or more copies of Law of the Student Press, the most up-to-date, comprehensive
and easy-to-understand guide to the laws, policies and court decisions that apply to student media in the
United States.
- Up to five single-copy reprints, upon request, of SPLC-published legal analyses, which may be reproduced for
classroom lessons, media staff handbooks and other uses. Topics include libel; copyright; Hazelwood Supreme Court decision;
privacy; freedom of information; campus crime and campus court reports, among others listed in an order form.
- The opportunity to support the free legal assistance that you and all student journalists and advisers receive from the SPLC,
including telephone and e-mail advice and referrals to media attorneys in your area when necessary.
- Security in knowing that you will be kept up to date on the legal issues you may face as a student journalist or adviser and
on the latest information to teach your staff and students.
All of this comes to you for one small price:

$50 high school student publication or student media department.
$100 college student publication or student media department.
