Center Twitter Account @NatAgLaw

With the growing importance of social networking, the Center has a Twitter account, @NatAgLaw, to keep its followers apprised of new additions to the Center's website, blog postings, Center activities, and news items of particular interest to the agricultural and food law community. This social networking has already paid dividends to the Center and the Blog by introducing new users to each of these sites. The Twitter feed is accessible to the general public with or without Twitter accounts.

Website Guide

To make the vast store of information available on the Center website more user-friendly, a Website Guide has been created to aid visitors in their navigation through the site.
