The assignment editor obtains the leads that our reporters use to produce some 800 case reports a month.

The assignment editor:

procures information about recently resolved cases via regular, frequent contact with courthouse staff and regular, frequent checks of Web sites, FTP services, etc.;
performs daily monitoring of, and immediate response to, the needs of the reporters who use this information, ensuring that reporters always have fresh “leads” to pursue. This includes the assignment of hundreds of case leads per month, all of which must be tracked to their completion, i.e., articles that we can publish;
monitors Web-based media outlets for breaking legal news, primarily by setting up and maintaining e-mail alerts that automatically capture breaking stories for our reporters to follow;
