About Us

After 35 years as a print publication, LawNow has transformed into an online publication. The LawNow digital edition was launched April 1, 2011 and continues to include all of the features and articles that showcase the best in public legal information and education. The online edition is user-friendly and easy to navigate, and allows us to provide you with a searchable database of past issues.

We will continue to publish 6 issues a year and will announce each issue with an e-newsletter containing some of the highlights.
