Welcome to another edition of the Law.com Insider! This month we are spotlighting some exciting enhancements to our regional coverage with the expansion of our “Takeaways” series executive briefing newsletters. Texas Takeaways, the first in this series, was launched to Texas Lawyer and Law.com subscribers last April as a beta test. The market response to Texas Takeaways has been tremendous. Average monthly page views to Texas Lawyer have increased by over 120% since its launch. This month we are launching Southeast Takeaways as the second release in the Takeaways series. Check out the Product Spotlight below to learn more about Takeaways and stay tuned for future additional releases in the series. Also last month, our Global Newsroom continued its year-long focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with a special focus on recognizing Black History Month across Law.com and Law.com Radar.
As always, we welcome your feedback, comments, and suggestions, so please don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know how we are doing. Richard Caruso, VP & General Manager, Global Legal News

DEI Coverage and Instant Insights for Black History Month |
The ALM Global Newsroom continues to delve into the critical topics around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion based on what we are seeing resonate with our readers. We look for the unique stories and voices to help audiences learn from each other as they grapple with social justice issues across the industry. In addition to Law.com, our industry verticals including Insurance, Investment Advisory, Benefits and Real Estate all feature a special package of continuously updated stories about developments in our markets. Those include issues such as building diverse pipelines, hiring more diverse employees and creating “office” cultures that support a wide array of talent and perspective. Be sure to scroll down the Law.com page to see the Instant Insights package on “A National Conversation on Racism: the Legal Profession’s Role in Driving Equality.
In addition, ALM recognized Black History Month on Law.com Radar. When visiting the site, users saw a new logo for the month, along with some themed content. Throughout the month, we changed the special blips to spotlight a range of African American legal leaders and shared relevant articles and features from the wider Law.com network. This month, we'll be focused on Women's History Month. Take a look and let us know any feedback.
