"Almost all businesses in California—from well-established "bricks and mortar" companies to start-ups—have or should have an Internet website," says Suzanne Weakley, a CEB publications attorney who spearheaded publication of Internet Law and Practice in California.

We are extremely pleased that ACLEA has chosen to recognize this relatively new publication from CEB with an 'ACLEA's Best' award."

The Award for Professional Excellence will formally be presented to CEB by ACLEA President Mary Lynne at ACLEA's annual meeting on July 31st in Washington, D.C.
