Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
The American Lawyer - We cover the largest law firms in the nation. Lawyers who practice in those megafirms, essentially the legal defense establishment, make up the bulk of our audience. We are also read by the lawyers who hire those firms, typically chief legal officers at Fortune 500 companies; the lawyers who compete with those firms, such as the feisty plaintiffs lawyers who sue the Fortune 500; and the lawyers who either have fled those firms or aspire to build a megafirm of their own. Our audience can find technical help about specific laws from many professional journals; they look to us for legal news and its context, insightful analysis of data and trends, and independent reporting on their business and people.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
This package shows The American Lawyer artfully fulfilling its core mission: providing lawyers with deep, insightful coverage of large law firms. The package's centerpiece is the Am Law 100 rankings, the magazine’s proprietary, nine-metric examination of the finances of the nation's 100 biggest and most powerful law firms. All of the firms are privately held, and the data is obtained through months of intensive, all-hands-on-deck reporting by The American Lawyer and nine sibling publications. The magazine's 73-page analysis package includes six pages of standout statistics, a statistics-based overview, introduction of a new proprietary metric, a nationwide market analysis, case studies of ten firms that were among the year's outliers, and a detailed analysis of each of the 100 firm's financial picture.
