ALM, the nation’s leading legal journalism and information company, and Best Lawyers, the nation’s leading peer review publication in the legal profession, today announced plans to publish “Texas’ Best Lawyers,” a special supplement that will be distributed in The Dallas Morning News and the Houston Chronicle, as well as ALM’s Texas Lawyer. The publication is expected to reach a total readership of more than 1.5 million across the state.
The reference resource will feature listings and profiles of the state’s top attorneys across a wide variety of practice areas, as selected by an extensive peer review survey conducted by The Best Lawyers in America.
The special stand-alone glossy supplement will be produced by ALM, publisher of more than 33 award-winning national and regional legal magazines and newspapers, including The American Lawyer and The National Law Journal. The section’s content will be based on the Texas listings in the 2008 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.
Best Lawyers lists are created through almost 2 million confidential evaluations and thousands of telephone interviews with leading attorneys across the nation. Because lawyers must be selected by their peers for inclusion, Best Lawyers has been regarded – by both the legal profession and the public – as the leader in integrity and reliability for lawyer ratings since 1983. ALM’s Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
“Texas residents and business people seeking information and guidance in selecting an attorney will now have a new and authoritative resource to turn to,” said Jack Berkowitz, senior vice president, ALM. “This effort with Best Lawyers ensures that a comprehensive reference is available to the broadest possible cross-section of savvy consumers throughout the state.”
