NEW YORK (March 2, 2010) – The Legal Intelligencer, the nation’s oldest daily legal newspaper, today published its first expanded issue, following its merger with the Pennsylvania Law Weekly. The Legal Intelligencer now features a pullout center-section edition of the Pennsylvania Law Weekly each Tuesday. The redesigned combined publication Web site is also available today at www.thelegalintelligencer.com.

Stories in the first merged March 2 issue of the publication include:

•   An analysis of how the use of concurring opinions on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has shown the lack of a unified front among the justices and opened the door to larger arguments.

•    An in-depth report on the biggest cost concerns for mid-sized and small law firms.

•    A feature on how Pittsburgh law firms weathered 2009 and what they are focusing on in 2010 to get through a challenging year.

•    More hard-hitting investigative reporting on the Luzerne County judicial scandal.

“The staff is excited about the merger and taking the publications to a whole new level. We’re going to raise the bar on delivering the best available journalism and information to Pennsylvania’s lawyers, judges and legal professionals,” said Hank Grezlak, editor in chief of The Legal Intelligencer.

“The merger and our new combined products benefit all of our subscribers, expanding the legal news, commentary and information available to them in print and online,” added Hal Cohen, publisher.

The Legal Intelligencer now provides readers with expanded coverage of news from across the state, including new access to case digests, verdicts and settlements and the weekly “Capitol Report.” Pennsylvania Law Weekly subscribers will continue to receive statewide legal coverage through the Tuesday weekly pullout section, as well as additional content from The Legal Intelligencer. Special promotional pricing is available to current Pennsylvania Law Weekly subscribers who would like to upgrade to receive all issues of the daily newspaper.

All subscribers receive premium access to the redesigned, integrated Web site, featuring news updates throughout the day; enhanced video and interactive features; and access to statewide judicial profiles, a statewide attorney directory and blogs, as well as a PDF version of each issue of the paper. RSS and Twitter feeds, e-mail newsletters, data and searchable archives are also available online.

The newspaper and Web site also features expanded job listings, with career options in Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Metro region.
