Canadian Lawyer launches its own magazine for young lawyers

Canadian Lawyer is officially launching its Associates spinoff, a lifestyle and law magazine for young lawyers, in February, according to a story in the Financial Post. (A preview issue was distributed in November as a sort of "spoiler" to coincide with the launch of Precedent, an independent magazine aimed at young lawyers.) (See previous posts.)

Associates will be mailed to 10,000 lawyers sourced from the Canadian Law List [which Canadian Lawyer's parent company CLB Media owns] on a quarterly basis. A digital edition is available online.

Gail Cohen, editor and associate publisher of Associates says the first cover story will deal will the recent trend of U.S. and British firms recruiting young Canadian associates. Also debuting in the premiere issue will be the Legal Eats page, a regular recipe contributed by Bob Blumer, celebrity chef and host of Glutton for Punishment with Bob Blumer on the Food Network.

Karen Lorimer, group publisher of Canadian Lawyer Magazine Inc. said the new publication is an important resource for new lawyers. “It will include information that isn't readily available anywhere else.” said Lorimer in an interview.

(Dept. of weird coincidences: The first issue of Precedent had a young woman lawyer with her arm's crossed, too. )
