NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LegalMinds.TV has announced the launch of a weekly series of video interviews filmed at the NASDAQ MarketSite Broadcast Studio in the heart of Times Square. The "LegalMinds/NASDAQ Securities & Capital Market Series" will feature timely interviews with legal experts on topics relevant to the management and boards of directors of public companies, the investment community and companies interested in accessing the capital markets.

"We're excited to be partnering with NASDAQ," says Bruce Colwin, President & CEO of LegalMinds Media LLC, which produces LegalMinds.TV.
