The Readers Choice Awards recognized top authors and firms having achieved the highest visibility, engagement, and thought leadership, and read by C-suite executives, in-house counsel, media, and other professionals across the JD Supra platform during 2020.

“We at DE are of course thrilled by the award and glad the marketplace recognizes the care, time, and attention to excellence we put into our weekly report of OFCCP, EEO and an increased broadening of many other employment law compliance developments,” said Candee Chambers, Executive Director of Indianapolis headquartered DirectEmployers Association. “The Week in Review is a labor of love for John Fox, Jen Polcer, contributing author Jay Wang and me and its steadily increasing readership is proof it increasingly fills a need in the world of corporate compliance,” Candee said.

JD Supra editors chose the 28 topics covered in this year’s Readers Choice Awards for their timeliness as well as their proven, ongoing importance. In each category, they recognized ten authors and one firm for consistently high readership and engagement within that category for all of 2020.
