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:
One thing pundits can agree on about the Trump administration is that judicial nominees during his term will be the president's most lasting legacy. Because judges serve life terms after they're confirmed by the Senate, the Journal has closely tracked judicial appointments, hearings and related developments. A team of skilled reporters and editors has emerged who are quick to report on the latest news and take a step back to provide context and analysis.
The team this year has live blogged the Neil Gorsuch hearings, taken a deep dive into the history of the ABA's role in vetting judges over the decades and tracked each appellate and Supreme Court nominee through the Senate confirmation process.
