Below is a short description:

The ABA Journal, which is read by more than half the nation's 1.1
million lawyers every month, has radically revamped its website. It
aggregates and filters breaking news from the nation's best legal
journalists and daily analysis from lawyers who are experts in their
fields. It's a place where the legal community can comment about
today's developments, and learn from each other.

The revamped site has three major components:

Law News Now: www.abajournal.com The home page features the latest
legal news stories, hand selected by our lawyer-journalists. It's
updated continuously every business day with 25-50 summaries of and
links to the most sophisticated legal reporting from around the web. A
quick glance at the top of our home page will tell you the most
important legal stories right now, whether it's today's Supreme Court
decision, this morning's developments in high-profile trials,
yesterday's law firm mega-merger, or Paris Hilton's latest scrape with
the law. If you only want to see the news about your practice area or
state, we've created dozens of topic pages (www.abajournal.com/topics)
that take you directly to the news you need.

The Blawg Directory: www.abajournal.com/blawgs We've indexed more
than 1,000 blogs written by lawyers who are experts in their practice
areas, with more being added daily. We tell you about the author, what
they cover, and include excerpts from their 10 latest posts. You can
sort the directory by subject, who writes the blog (partners,
associates, judges, law professors, etc.), or by the state or court
they blog about. We even have a list of blogs written by students and
professors at more than 130 law schools. Know of a blog we haven't
included? Tell us about it: www.abajournal.com/blawgs/submit

The Magazine: www.abajournal.com/magazine The award-winning Journal's
deep analysis of legal trends makes it the nation's most-read and
most-respected legal affairs magazine. We've posted every story from
every issue back through 2005; issues from previous years will be
posted soon. New issues will go online the day they are published, and
they'll be augmented with Web-only exclusives like court opinions,
white papers and interview transcripts that add depth to the printed
stories.

The site also has all the tools you'd expect:

-- Visitors can comment on every story.

-- The list of most-read stories, appearing on almost every page,
shows what the legal community is reading right now.

-- You can e-mail any story to friends and colleagues.

-- Too busy to visit the site? It will deliver the news to you with
our free daily and weekly e-mail newsletters. www.abajournal.com/subscribe

-- Add our news feeds to your RSS feed reader.

-- Keep up with the latest news on your Internet-capable cell phone or
BlackBerry with our mobile edition. www.abajournal.com/subscribe/#mobile

The entire site is free and available to anyone, whether they belong
to the ABA or not.
