LawMarketing Portal Named "MVP Site" Source: SmartPros Publication date: 2000-07-24 Chicago -- The LawMarketing Portal, www.lawmarketing.com, a one-stop Web destination for marketing in the legal industry, has been named an "MVP Site," and is described as "a great tool for law firm marketing." "Marketing has become crucially important in the $132 billion legal industry," said LawMarketing Sysop Larry Bodine of Chicago. "At AmLaw 100 law firms, starting salaries have reached $125,000 and annual firm revenues have topped $1 billion. Marketing brings in the business to make this possible." The MVP Site award was bestowed by NewLawTools, Inc, www.netlawtools.com/som.html. "The Law Marketing Portal is a superior site operated in conjunction with the popular LawMarketing discussion group. The site features articles, discussion group archives, and much more. The article about online seminars, or "webinars" is a good example of the site's value," said NetLawTools President Jerry Lawson. "This award comes at a time when the LawMarketing Portal is setting new records for page views and unique visitors," Bodine said. "It's become the go-to site in the legal niche." At the same time the LawMarketing discussion list has grown to 1,200+ members worldwide, making it the largest list of its kind. The MVP Site selections highlight Internet sites of high value to practicing lawyers and other legal professionals, according to Mr. Lawson. "The main criterion are: will it help practicing lawyers better use the Internet? Will it be something a legal professional will want to add to his bookmark list?" said Mr. Lawson, who is a lawyer and author of The Complete Internet Handbook for Lawyers. "What particularly attracted me to the LawMarketing Portal was that it illustrates a point I've stressed since I began teaching lawyers about the Internet in 1994, the value of virtual communities. The mailing list is excellent in itself, and I've tried to draw attention to it, including featuring it in my book. However, with the LawMarketing Portal, there is a synergy that makes each of them even more valuable. I liked the portal site from the beginning and Larry Bodine has continued to improve it.
