On November 12, 2002, the Internet legal research weblog Inter Alia selected TLPJ's online database as its "Research Site of the Day." "The Trial Lawyers for Public Justice database helps you find over 2,000 trial lawyer associations, law schools, online legal resources, and public interest groups throughout the U.S.," wrote publisher Tom Mighell. "Just select a state, then check off as many items as you want to find. The groups you can choose from include civil rights, consumer protection, elder law, housing, legal aid, workers' rights, and more. A great way to find an organization in another state."

On March 22, 2003, TLPJ’s web site won a Silver Spider Award for innovative web design. "Thanks for making the web a more interesting and attractive place to visit," said web designer Jeff Thrower in presenting the award. "Our compliments on a job well done!"

On May 12, 2003, the Christian Science Monitor added TLPJ to its Web Directory of "Sites We Like." The Monitor Web Directory is a guide to some of the best information resources on the Internet as selected by Monitor staff. TLPJ's site is one of a few select resources under the heading of Justice & Law. In particular, the Monitor highlighted TLPJ's "database of US lawyers' associations, law schools, online legal resources, and public interest groups."

ResourceShelf named TLPJ's Database for Public Interest Advocates as its legal research "Web Resource of the Week" for June 12, 2003.

Pick o'  the Month

Jim Hightower named the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice web site as a "Pick o' the Month" for June 2003. National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and author of If the Gods had Meant us to Vote They Would Have Given us Candidates, Hightower has spent three decades battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be -- consumers, working families, environmentalists, small businesses, and just-plain-folks.

On July 4, 2003, TLPJ's site received an Award of Merit from Mindless Perfection. "Our awards are not given out easily," said Web Mistress Loren Sebastian. "We hope that this encourages you to keep up the great work. We are proud to have you amongst the MP Award winners." "Not only you have done an excellent job but made this world wide web more important from your creation."

In March 2004, TLPJ received an Astral Award. The award review team wrote, "We enjoyed visiting your site and learning more about Trial Lawyers for Public Justice. Over all your site is well constructed, easy to navigate, consistent in theme and style, and very content rich. Congratulations on a job well done!"
