LegalMatch Blog Writer Highlight - Danielle Brown

Over the past few months, the LegalMatch law blog has seen a spike in activity thanks to the recent contributions of a few of our newest members of the writing team. It can be a challenge to find writers who consistently take an interest in blog writing. Blog articles are often more challenging to write than, for example, LegalMatch law library articles, since blog articles require a certain level of creativity. 

Over the past few months, Danielle Brown has contributed several blog articles per week in addition to completing her responsibilities with the client services/case review team. Danielle has also written for the law library and has contributed to social media activities. 

Here's a highlight of a few of the articles Danielle has recently contributed to the LegalMatch blog:

• Startups Face Legal Action for Treating Contractors Like W2 Employees
• Six Officers Charged in the Murder of Freddie Gray
• Students Are Jailed for Skipping Class in Texas School District
