Description:
Lawdragon is a legal news website with an annual magazine that provides coverage of high-profile legal matters and the attorneys handling them. Our best-known editorial feature is the “Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers,” our annual lawyers-of-the-year guide that we believe is the most elite distinction in the profession. We also report on international justice developments and have done in-depth features on human rights cases in South Africa, the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
Our site also offers a free database of lawyers that lets companies and individuals search for and fill out evaluations of legal professionals, and provides a platform for lawyers to promote their services.
We are also building a new site on legal education that will provide regular editorial coverage of law schools and a school-search function for prospective students that we will market as an alternative to the U.S. News & World Report rankings. This will also provide evaluations of schools and professors.
