The only way to describe this site is to say that it succeeds in spite of its appearance. Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis has an outstanding Web site, but it is in desperate need of a graphic overhaul. Schnader Harrison received quite a bit of press last spring when it was the first law firm in the country to submit an amicus brief to the Supreme Court simultaneously on CD-ROM and on the Internet. A copy of that brief is at their Web site, and it remains one of the best and most persuasive arguments against the Communications Decency Act of 1996. That said, we don't like the layout of the site. Links to the major subsections of the site are buried two and three screens deep, when a simple table on the first screen would put all necessary links in front of the viewer. Attorney bios are decent, including photographs of the attorneys, their e-mail addresses, and links to the more thorough Martindale-Hubbell biographies. Navigation through the site depends almost entirely on your browser's "back" button. Little to no navigational aids exist around the site. "In the News" is a great collection of articles about the firm, and the articles are even dated. Newsletters are published here, but they are woefully out of date. The Intellectual Property's last (and only) entry is dated March, 1995 (yes, 1995), and no department's articles were more recent than December, 1996. "Nunc pro tunc" is a great section, taking an historical approach to the law, and, in some cases, Schnader Harrison's contribution to the law. Overall, this firm has succeeded in producing some good content, but much of it is overshadowed by the difficulties inherent in the site's design.
