A Note from the Editors:
ILW.COM is proud that our efforts to bring you all the immigration news you need to know are being recognized by others. LLRX.com, a free Web journal dedicated to providing legal professionals with the most up-to-date information on a wide range of Internet legal research and technology-related issues, included a review of our site in their April 2 issue of LLRXBuzz.
We have also been added to "A Legal Publishers' List: Corporate Affiliations of Legal Publishers." This list of corporate affiliations represents a collaborative effort by many librarians and legal information industry professionals on the LAW-LIB listserv to trace the current lines of ownership in the US legal publishing industry. Rob Richards of the University of Colorado Law Library maintains the list.
More important than the recognition we receive from other websites is the recognition we receive from our readers. Thank you.
