TABBIES 2009 HONORS

We were delighted to learn today that Law Technology News has won two TABBIE awards, from the Trade Association Business Publications International.

 • Our former colleague, Claire Duffett, who is now working as a reporter based in Cambodia, won one of two  honorable mentions in the Best Department category, for her stellar Technology on Trial articles.

The War of Words chronicled how the father of a soldier killed in Iraq successfully sued religious fanatics who picketed the son's funeral with homophobic signs.

Repeatable Defense covered how Orrick partner Peter Bicks developed protocols and templates to help the firm defend Union Carabide Corp. on multiple claims.

• We also took one of three honorable mentions in the Editor's Column category, for my rant about gender pay inequality in the legal profession, and my account of a trip with my mother to the Flight 93 memorial.

We are absolutely thrilled. To read about other winners, visit the TABPI site.
