Precedent magazine launches companion news and job site for lawyers

a-list.lawandstyle.ca

Three years ago, Melissa Kluger of Law and Style Media Inc. started Precedent, a magazine targeted at young lawyers (she  being a young lawyer herself), principally in Ontario. The print quarterly is complemented by a website called lawandstyle.ca, reflecting the magazine's editorial focus not only on the working lives of under-40 associates and students, but their interest in fashion and lifestyle. 

Now, Precedent, which is delivered to 15,000 Ontario lawyers and 1,000 law students and provides daily news through its website,  has augmented its product line with the A-list, a companion website for career news and job listings for lawyers. The site has announcements on one side, paid career listings on the other.  Its launch was announced today. It provides the legal community with a new way to share news about recent hires, promotions and job opportunities. As she said in a release:

“Precedent’s website has always been a great place to find up-to-the-minute news about the legal community. Now we’re giving lawyers a leading-edge destination for news about new hires, moves, promotions, awards and jobs.”

Law firms and legal recruitment companies are able to create accounts online and then log in to those accounts to purchase credits and post their listings. Readers can have announcements and career postings directed to their inboxes.
