It's been described as a local version of Mad magazine mixed with The Harvard Law Review and the New Yorker. In its eight-year history, it's been accused of being too liberal, too conservative, too smart and too sophomoric. But it's never been accused of being a bore. Thus its slogan, "Only our name is boring."

While virtually every lawyer in the state reads the magazine, it is definitely not a legal trade journal. Its readership has grown much broader. Washington Law & Politics is read by the state's intelligentsia (The vast majority of our readers have post-graduate degrees). It's a magazine for those who care about, or have a stake in, the public policy debate that is the basis of our editorial.

Our audience consists of those in positions of power in media, government, politics, law and business. Our magazine attracts a curious blend of readers ranging from corporate CEOs to political junkies.

Law & Politics comes out six times a year and is a four-color glossy magazine. It has won several awards for editorial excellence, including more first-place awards from the Society of Professional Journalists than any magazine in western Washington for 1999.
