| Verdict Reporter |
I worked as a verdict reporter for American Lawyer Media for a short
time. As a verdict report, I drafted articles on notable trial verdicts
in various states, such as California, Texas, New York, New Jersey, and
Illinois. I believe VerdictSearch publishes in 7 states. As a verdict
reporter, my day consisted of calling attorneys and asking questions
about their cases. I spent an average of 2-5 hours daily on the phone,
either making calls or returning phone calls. I then would fax a draft
of the article to the attorneys who handled the case, and make necessary
revisions.
The employees at American Lawyer are very friendly and mostly a young
bunch. Social events were numerous as well as monthly raffles and
holiday parties and personal birthday celebrations. It was indeed an
enjoyable place to work, albeit some employees did work late (until 8-
9pm) to meet certain publication deadlines.
Most reporters however worked from 9 or 9:30 to 5:30 or 6 pm.
