Trial Lawyer’s Journal – Editorial Standards

At Trial Lawyer’s Journal, our mission is to preserve, honor, and amplify the voices of the most dedicated plaintiff trial lawyers in America. Our content — whether interviews, essays, case studies, or commentary — is grounded in integrity and a deep respect for the role of trial advocacy in the justice system.

We are committed to the following editorial principles:

1. Accuracy and Integrity

All content published in Trial Lawyer’s Journal is fact-checked, sourced, and reviewed for accuracy (as best as our small team can). We strive for precise representation of legal matters, trial outcomes, and professional commentary. Errors are corrected promptly and transparently.

2. Independence and Editorial Judgment

Our editorial team exercises full independence in selecting, curating, and editing content. There is no “Pay to Play.” Though contributors may be practicing attorneys, consultants, or subject matter experts, editorial decisions are made free from external influence, commercial bias, or sponsor interference.

3. Author Expertise and Attribution

We feature stories from accomplished trial lawyers, consultants, and professionals with firsthand experience. All contributors are credited, and their backgrounds are verified to ensure authority and relevance to our audience.

4. Ethical Legal Storytelling

We adhere to high standards in storytelling, particularly when publishing real trial stories. We are sensitive to client privacy, and all disclosures comply with professional conduct rules. Informed consent is obtained when necessary.

5. No AI-Generated Legal Opinions

While we may use AI for transcription or summarization and creative services, all legal opinions, analyses, and perspectives published in the journal are written and reviewed by legal professionals. We do not publish AI-generated legal advice or strategy.

6. Limited and Transparent Advertising

Our print journal contains minimal advertising to preserve a distraction-free reading experience. Any sponsored content is clearly marked and adheres to the same editorial scrutiny as all other material.

7. Editorial Review and Revisions

Submissions undergo a multi-layer editorial review process to ensure clarity, structure, and legal sensitivity. We reserve the right to revise submissions for grammar, length, and readability while preserving the author’s voice and intent.
