[5] Lawyers' Forum The Daily Law Bulletin does not have an editorial board and does not publish staff-written opinion pieces.

The "Lawyers' Forum" space publishes pieces submitted by Illinois attorneys that offer "their expertise and insight," under the publication's submission guidelines.

[6] The Law Bulletin began publication in 1854 as the Daily Report of Suits, Judgments, Chattel Mortgages, etc., founded by Chicago attorney Edwin Bean.

It was the first daily court publication, coming about 11 years after The Legal Intelligencer pioneered the concept in Philadelphia with a weekly newspaper.

[10] Over his tenure, Law Bulletin Publishing Co. expanded beyond the newspaper into other legal and real estate services.

In addition to developing an electronic case management system in the mid-1980s, the company acquired other publications, including Sullivan's Law Directory, Leading Lawyers and the Jury Verdict Reporter.

[12] In 1989, the Law Bulletin acquired Chicago Lawyer from legal journalist Rob Warden and repurposed the brand into a monthly sister publication to the daily newspaper.
