Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
The flagship magazine of the American Bar Association, the ABA Journal is a general interest legal publication covering the trends, people and finances of the legal industry. Its audience includes the more than 400,000 members of the ABA, readers of ABAJournal.com, those engaged on social media, and podcast listeners.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
New technology, new approaches, new clients with new needs--and attitude. The (literally) hidebound legal profession is caught in a tailwind of change, and fighting against it every day.
But change is unstoppable, and the ABA Journal wants to help its readers catch up to the new ways of law practice and lead the legal industry to the success that too many fear may have passed them by.
This was the reasoning behind the series "Building the 21st-Century Law Firm," and for a full year we provided information on how to organize, market, protect and manage a law practice in the New Age. Editor Reginald F. Davis recruited contributions from a range of recognized experts in changing law practice--many of them people the Journal has cited as the innovators we call Legal Rebels.
As an online component, we also began a Q&A column in which Daliah Saper, a lawyer of the new era, answered readers questions from how to use social media to choosing an office to how to get paid.
The result is a collection of thought and action on what it will take for lawyers, new and established, to respond to the changed marketplace--and to push for change in areas still lagging behind.
