Every year around mid-summer, the InsideCounsel editorial team sits down to discuss the editorial calendar for the following year. First we ask ourselves what we think our readers will need to know in the coming year. To answer this, we refer to previous issues, do research and talk to in-house as well as law firm lawyers to gain insight on what’s most important to you.

Then, individually, we make a list of all the ideas we have, including current events, best practices and how-to stories. Finally, we meet to discuss them and decide which ones will make the cut.
