Law Firms & Bar Associations
Several leading law firms (ranging from big international practices to boutique public interest firms) contribute sponsorships, helping fund our investigative journalism and special reports. In return, we work with them on initiatives like pro bono clinic coverage and highlight their efforts in improving the legal system. We also receive support from bar associations that believe in our educational outreach.
Universities & Law Schools
Top academic institutions have partnered with us to sponsor content that aligns with their expertise. For instance, a renowned law school might sponsor our Legal Innovations series, allowing us to delve deeper into research on legal technology and ethics, while the school’s professors join as expert guests. These partnerships strengthen the bridge between academic scholarship and real-world application.
Legal Technology Companies
Innovative legal tech and service companies often underwrite segments that showcase how technology is making legal processes more efficient and accessible. Our “Tech Corner” briefs in the News section, for example, are supported by sponsors who want to spread awareness of tools like online dispute resolution platforms or AI-driven legal research services.
Nonprofits & Foundations
We have mission-driven support as well – civil justice foundations and nonprofits focused on rights education sometimes sponsor particular campaigns or series. For example, a foundation dedicated to preventing wrongful convictions might underwrite a month-long investigative series on Justice Behind the Scenes that examines flaws in the criminal justice process and how to fix them.
We maintain a strict policy to ensure editorial independence: sponsorships do not influence our editorial stance or the content of our journalism. We always clearly acknowledge our sponsors in our programming and thank them for making our work possible.
