American Lawyer Media Inc. Buys Moran Publishing Co.

American Lawyer Media Inc. has acquired Moran Publishing Co., which publishes jury verdict and settlement research data in New York. Coupled with its acquisition of Blue Sheets, (the leading jury verdict publisher in Texas and four other states), the Moran purchase improves ALM's coverage for both states.

"Verdict research and reporting has long been required reading among lawyers," explained William Pollak, ALM's president and CEO. "Lawyers need to know about past verdicts in order to assess the value of current cases," he said.

The new venture will operate under the name of ALM Jury Verdict Division, and continue to supply the New York Law Journal with reports for the newspaper's decision section. (The N.Y.L.J. and Law Technology News are both ALM publications).
