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:
The ABA Journal’s Docket section consistently covers nationally significant legal news on issues that are engaging and forward thinking. The May 2017 section is a strong example of how the Journal’s team of writers offer insights into issues from business practices to criminal justice to racial discrimination in the courts.
Lorelei Laird writes about a little known but serious problem of discrimination in the so-called sharing economy. Jason Tashea warns readers how IP addresses from their home computers can mistakenly lead police to suspect them of crimes. And in our U.S. Supreme Court coverage, Mark Walsh reports about how the sanctity of the jury room can hide incidents of racial discrimination that could impact verdicts.
Each of these stories is fresh, and gives our readers news that is interesting, timely and important to their practices.
