Talk:The American Lawyer

Describe what American Lawyer actually reported
This article should describe what American Lawyer actually did.

They published some groundbreaking stories. The one that I remember is, "An innocent man on death row."

Brill pioneered the coverage of law firms and the legal profession, which had been a gentleman's club until then. He had front-page stories of leading lawyers, at a time when it was infra dignitas for a lawyer to be quoted in a newspaper.

There are WP:RS that say all this, including journalism reviews and probably stories in the New York Times. Brill also described his style of journalism in columns in the American Lawyer itself. He said that he got letters from lawyers saying that they did not give him permission to write about their firm. -- Nbauman (talk) 15:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
