Cornell Law School's Communications Department plays a variety of important roles for the Law School, but its most significant function is to communicate, both internally and externally, the school's educational mission. It does this through a variety of means, including the Law School's website and the Cornell Law Forum, a twice-yearly publication of Law School articles, news, and alumni notes. The office also distributes press releases and press kits about important Law School events and responds to media requests.
