California Lawyer was a monthly legal magazine based in San Francisco, California.[1][2] The magazine was sent to every lawyer in the state.[3]

History and profile

California Lawyer was established in 1980.[4] The magazine was published on a monthly basis[4] and combined legal news, case commentary, and coverage of technology and business trends. Each issue included news, reviews, profiles and opinion.

The magazine was the recipient of a number of Maggie Awards from the Western Publishing Association.[5][6]

Each spring, the magazine announced the recipients of the California Lawyer Attorney of the Year (C.L.A.Y.) awards, an accolade for California attorneys.[1][7] On September 30, 2015, the Daily Journal announced it was ceasing publication of California Lawyer and terminated its entire staff.[8] Although it was in the middle of accepting nominations for its 2015/2016 awards when it folded, the Daily Journal announcement did not include details about whether or not the awards would be granted or if the entire program would be terminated.
