Law360 Canada

In February 2023, The Lawyer's Daily was rebranded as Law360 Canada. The publication was originally launched in 1983 as the Ontario Lawyers Weekly by managing editor Michael Fitz-James, and rebranded to The Lawyers Weekly. In 2017, the publication went from a weekly print newspaper to an online publication and renamed itself The Lawyer's Daily.[26]

Podcasts

Law360 offers a number of podcasts relating to the law and legal system.[27] The flagship podcast, Pro Say, is a weekly podcast that recaps the biggest legal stories of the week and features guests from both inside the Law360 newsroom and from the legal community.[28] The show also typically includes a segment called "offbeat" about oddities and humorous legal stories. The podcast was launched in June 2017 and is hosted by Amber McKinney and Alex Lawson.

Law360's second podcast was launched in September 2019 and is called The Term.[29] The show provides an overview of the action in the U.S. Supreme Court each week that the court is in session. Each episode is approximately 20 minutes, and are hosted by Law360's Supreme Court Reporter, Jimmy Hoover and Assistant Managing Editor, Natalie Rodriguez.

The company also launched a narrative podcast series, under the umbrella of Law360 Explores.[30] The first season was Law360 Explores: Legalization, a five-part series that focused on the tension for marijuana businesses that have to navigate how the drug is legal in many states but remains illegal at the federal level. Season one was hosted by senior cannabis reporter Diana Novak Jones. The second season, The Fall of Tom Girardi, investigates how one of the U.S.'s most successful plaintiff's attorney went from a legal star to being accused of exploiting survivors of an explosion as well as widows and orphans of plane crash victims.[31]
