AALL Bloomberg Law Announces Winner of AALL's New Product of the Year Award

And ... it's Bloomberg Law. I don't recall seeing this in the March 2011 2012 (oops!) AALL eNewsletter (posted March 15th). I guess the decision was made after that date. And nothing on AALL's front page when I received the news. Perhaps it was posted in a web community group (but I only take the daily summary). Here's the link to today's BLaw press release.

Here is AALL Executive Board member Greg Lambert's reaction to the news on 3 Geeks.

I had a great conversation with Bob Hopen from Bloomberg Law and Cameron Austin of BNA yesterday, and we talked about a number of things that are going on at Bloomberg/BNA. However, they failed to mention to me that they were named by AALL the 2012 New Product of the Year. Congratulations!

Ditto. I'm thinking this year's award will be less controversial than last year's award. For now, however, BLaw's big sales push is directed at BigLaw firms. It may take awhile before sales pitches for AALL's 2012 New Product of the Year make it down to the lower ranks of the institutional buyers food chain.

Some of us receive vendor press releases by email. Kudos to Greg for checking his email more frequently than I do. [JH]
