The latest Washington legal headlines

March 2, 2010

In Washington divorce and related legal news, Regional business, bride and city magazines have flourished, but the Law & Politics model tried to be something substantive and stake its own territory. Bergen says the part of the formula that was the most successful was the least interesting journalistically: endless lists of the best law firms. Nevertheless, he notes, those features paid for original content that was often meaty and fun. If you are searching for aWashington Divorce lawyer then I can suggest this fine law firm. All in all, they can provide a top rated divorce lawyer for you.
The magazine was characterized by witty art-directed covers, Bergen notes they were the best since Terry Heckler art directed the old Seattle Magazine back in the 1960s. Recently, Washington DC newbie insiders Gary Locke and Ron Sims navigate their way around “the other Washington.”
Bergen also contends that the magazine used a freelance corps of experienced writers and original thinkers, including renegade conservative columnist Philip Gold and veteran contributors like Ross Anderson, Shelby Scates, Michael Hood, J. Kingston Pierce, Bob Geballe and many others.
Coverage and analysis was often unique and surprising. A well-liked feature was the magazine’s “Turkeys of the Year.” Bergen recalls one feature with Shelby Scates’ profile and interview in 2000 with the late Albert Canwell, Washington’s answer to Joseph McCarthy who, Bergen says, proved that even in his twilight years to be an unrepentant red-baiter.

Magazine for Washington State Lawyers Shutting Down

March 2, 2010

In Washington bankruptcy and other legal news, This following story is a sign of the times. In a story reported by Knute Berger for Seattle website, Crosscut.com’s blog, Washington Law & Politics, the venerable quarterly magazine for Washington State’s lawyers ois closing down. In his February 3, 2010 piece, Berger writes that the last issue will be the Spring edition. As an aside if you are searching for elite Washington Bankruptcy lawyers then I can most assuredly suggest this firm to you.
The “feisty” publication began in 1997. It was spun off from Minnesota Law & Politics, its parent publication that Is, itself, shutting down.
The staff of ‘Washington Law & Politics’ were appraised of the closing Feb. 2. Knute Bergen writes, “I’m sad to see it go, not only because I have been writing the political column there for the last few years, but because it lived up to its cheeky motto: ‘Only our name is boring.’”
The parent of the two publications, Key Professional Media of Minneapolis, has been able to continue the magazines as long as they have partly due of the popularity of its “Super Lawyers” and “Rising Stars” franchises, features that rate lawyers and law firms. Those features, “Super Lawyers” and “Rising Stars” were sold to Thomson Reuters, which intends to carry on publishing in all 50 states, including Washington, DC.
The co-founder of Washington Law & Politics, Steve Kaplan, was quoted by Bergen as saying that, at the time, Seattle seemed a natural market for a formula for legal and political coverage that had proved so successful in Minneapolis.
