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:
The Legal Rebels website builds on an annual ABA Journal magazine feature that recognizes innovators in law and legal services. The website is updated throughout the year.
In 2017, legalrebels.com was relaunched with a mobile-responsive, after-hours look, with more extensive use of photos. Among the section’s features:
• Extended profiles of Legal Rebels honorees, which now number 134.
• Legal Rebels Trailblazers podcasts—interviews with pioneers in access to justice, management of legal practices and service to society.
• The New Normal, an online essay series on disruption in the legal profession.
• A random phrase generator on problem-solving.
• Twitter and Reddit channels.
• An online store of Legal Rebels gear, from clothing to backpacks and skateboards.
The microsite has helped establish Legal Rebels as a significant honor in the legal industry, archiving biographies of major legal-industry figures from early in their career, and enhanced ABA Journal’s role in recognizing and promoting legal innovation.
