April 27, 2006Tom PerrottaThe explosion of employment claims in this country has resulted in an increased focus on resolving employment disputes prior to trial, in particular through mediation. Unfortunately, businesses and their managers often fail to appreciate why employment matters are particularly well-suited to mediation. This, in turn, discourages parties from participating meaningfully in mediation. The following article examines seven compelling reasons why mediation is such an attractive and viable option for prospective litigants.
April 27, 2006Marc R. EngelOnce again, our readership has requested that we launch a listing of The Top 50 Small to Mid-Size Law Firms in Marketing and Communications. I'm a big believer that many smaller firms can 'do more with less' in terms of marketing dollars. I've seen very inventive and forward thinking marketing strategies come out of some of smaller to mid-size firms, and so for that reason and many others, here is an opportunity for those firms to showcase their marketing and communications strategies. This listing will bring to bear all the achievements of these firms. My hope is that as many firms as are eligible will submit essays so that the listing will showcase these worthy firms.

April 27, 2006ALM Staff | Law Journal Newsletters |Obtaining a high search-engine ranking may no longer be enough to realize the business potential of a blog. The reason is that as the use of blogs as a marketing tool proliferates among lawyers, differences in quality between blogs covering the same topic will become evident. There are only so many blogs that prospective clients can read on a daily basis, and as the number of choices grow, readers will become more and more selective. It is therefore critical for any lawyer launching a blog to consider 'best practices' that will set his or her blog apart from the pack.
