Spring and Fall CLE Guides
The CLE Guidebook is a bi-annual special section focused on the Continuing Legal Education Courses offered in the Midwest.
This guide offers advertisers a direct means of reaching 25,000 attorneys throughout Illinois by means of a comprehensive
listing of association and law school sponsored CLE courses, speakers and meetings. CLE Guide Book will be inserted in Feb-
ruary and September issues of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin.

Legal Technology Update


Distribution includes: 1) Mailed directly to 270 MIS/IT Directors in law firms throughout Chicago and the metro areas, 2)
Bonus Distribution - ABA Tech Show in April 2011, and 3) Digitally sent to all Corporate Counsel in the state of Illinois

Illinois Top Verdicits


Independent readership surveys rank the Illinois Jury Verdicts as our most read special section. Over 25 notable defense and
plaintiffs' verdicts are profiled including the attorneys and law firms involved, as well as the expert witnesses and court con-
sultants utilized by each side. If you want to reach litigators in a publication sure to be read, this is an excellent opportunity.

40 Under Forty
For over 10 years, we have been ackowleging some of the most outstanding Illinois attorners under the age of 40. Law Bulletin's
legal advertising staff conducts an annual survey to determine the leading Illinois attorneys who are under 40 years old and
on a fast track professionally. In an effort to maintain objectivity, attorneys can not recommend themselves or attorneys at
their own law firm, corporation or public entity. The 40 attorneys selected are profiled in this stand-alone special publication.
Credible “who's who” publications are always very popular and well read. Do not miss this opportunity to be included in the
most popular special sections we have ever published.

ADR Guide
The Midwest ADR Guide is a stand alone publication that is targeted to litigators and corporate counsel throughout Illinois.
The Guide is the first resource of its kind to include extensive biographical profiles of attorney neutrals from the Dakotas to
Ohio. Profiles are divided into six categories; ADR: Commercial Matters, ADR: Employment, ADR: Family, ADR: Personal
Injury, ADR: Real Estate/Construction and ADR: International. Profiles are organized by state and by category and are easily
searched through multiple indexes.

Year in Review
The “Year in Review” is back by popular demand and gives advertisers the opportunity to submit a 650 word article along
with their ad. This special supplement to the Chicago Lawyer magazine will be inserted with an issue of the Chicago Daily
Law Bulletin and this year’s edition will also include the digital distribution of 4,000 attorneys in law firms of 50 and below.

special issues
Law Day
This opportunity comes only once a year. The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin is distributed to every practicing attorney in Illinois–
more than 65,000 in total. The publication has a readership of over 120,000 legal professionals throughout Illinois. No other
publication reaches every attorney in Illinois whether in private practice, in a corporate law department or the government.

Spring and Winter New Attorneys Sections


Twice a year (June and December) the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin prints a special edition that is inserted in the Chicago
Daily Law Bulletin. In addition, these two editions of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin are also delivered to every newly licensed
attorney in Illinois, approximately 1800 at each swearing-in ceremony. While many of these newly licensed lawyers have had
internships or may have used various legal information or service providers in law school, they are really legal neophytes and
ripe for marketing of your services and products.

directories
Lawyers’ Handbook
The Lawyers' Handbook is the only resource of its kind in Illinois. Proof of this is the 17,000 copies purchased annually by at-
torneys throughout the Chicago area. Accurate and comprehensive directories of all Federal, State and local offices, courts,
and officials make this a guide that is often referred to by attorneys, paralegals, legal secretaries and other legal professionals.
Advertising opportunities include the full page display ads and strip ads. Because this is a daily reference tool used for at least
a year, the Lawyers' Handbook should be included in any media plan intended to penetrate the Chicago legal market.
