2022 marks an important anniversary for legal publishing and NLJ in particular

The Law Journal was founded in 1822, followed by The Law Times in 1843, with the titles amalgamating in 1965 to become The New Law Journal (NLJ).

We are marking these anniversary dates with a series of tributes and reflections throughout the year including this special Easter issue.

Many thanks to all our subscribers, authors and partners for your enduring support and contributions.
