Jan Crawford Greenburg Leaves ABC for CBS

Greenburg_10.7.jpgTVNewser has learned ABC News senior legal correspondent Jan Crawford Greenburg is leaving ABC for CBS News.

Greenburg, an Alabama native and mother of four, joined ABC News three years ago. Before ABC, Crawford Greenburg spent 20 years as a reporter for The Chicago Tribune, much of the time spent covering the Supreme Court. In 1998, she began providing legal analysis for PBS' "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" where she remained until ABC brought her on in 2007.

Insiders tell us CBS News Washington managing editor Bob Schieffer has been a mentor to Crawford Greenburg.

For CBS News, she'll continue to cover the high court. But she'll first have to sit out a non-compete clause in her ABC contract. Terry Moran will be covering the court, as he has done in the past, in addition to his "Nightline" duties for ABC News.

After the jump, Crawford Greenburg's goodbye email to her ABC colleagues...
