 Launched in 2009, The National Law Review provides in-house counsel and  other business professionals, including small business owners, with  free, easy access to analysis of pressing legal issues through its  pnline database. Top law firms, law schools and professional  organizations contribute articles to the site, and The National Law Review helps legal consumers quickly locate this analysis for no charge and without a log-in or password.

 When an article appears on The National Law Review’s site, it gives the author(s) continuing opportunities to be read and brings attention to their expertise. Due to The National Law Review’s selection process, third-party credibility is added and articles are routinely referenced by mainstream media, bloggers and professional associations. Some Websites, including media sites, often pick up articles and place them on their Websites, which gives the contributors even greater readership and promotion opportunities.

“When we first were working on this idea, we knew it would be a powerful legal research tool, but we were not aware of how many opportunities an article would have to be read,” said Schaller. “It has truly exceeded   our expectations in terms of the reach our contributors gain with each article that is posted. It’s been wonderful seeing it develop and exciting to see it continuing to grow.”

Based in the Chicago area, The National Law Review is a free and easily accessible database of timely and authoritative legal analysis contributed by many of the nation’s premier law firms, law schools and       professional organizations.

A group of in-house attorneys developed the National Law Review on-line edition to create an easy to use resource to capture legal trends and news as they first start to emerge. We were looking for a better way to organize, vet and easily retrieve all the updates that were being sent to us on a daily basis.In the process, we’ve become one of the highest volume business law websites in the U.S. Today, the National Law Review’s seasoned editors screen and classify breaking news and analysis authored by recognized legal professionals and our own journalists. There is no log in to access the database and new articles are added hourly. The National Law Review revolutionized legal publication in 1888 and this cutting-edge tradition continues today.
