By ParalegalGateway.com

[Columbia, MD] Conexion International Media, Inc., publisher of Litigation Support Today, announces today that it has acquired Legal Assistant Today - the leading magazine for the paralegal profession from its former owner James Publishing, Inc.

Produced bimonthly by James Publishing of Costa Mesa, CA, Legal Assistant Today is the only independent national trade magazine written exclusively for paralegals. It has been published continuously for more than 25 years and it is the established authority in the paralegal field.

Specializing in the development of international and niche-market publications particularly those focused on vertical professions or special interests with multiple growth potential in the USA and the markets of Latin America, Asia-Pacific, or other regions, Conexion International Media is based in Columbia, MD and has sales offices in Miami and New York. The company currently publishes Litigation Support Today magazine with a total of 10,000 in circulation which is currently scheduled to be audited by BPA
Worldwide. Additionally, the company produces The International Litigation Support Leaders Conference, an annual education/networkin g conference and the prestigious Betsy Ann Reynolds Awards for Excellence in Litigation Support, recognizing the important role of today's litigation support
professionals.

Since 1981, James Publishing has been providing the legal profession with law books that are more practical and less costly than the traditional treatises that then dominated the market. Additionally, James Publishing provides extensive practice tools such as time-saving motions and pleadings, client letters, step-by-step procedural checklists, as well as pattern arguments, model questions, pitfalls to avoid, and practice tips. James Publishing is also known for its private charitable foundations that support
education and health projects for needy youth in the United States and less developed countries.

"We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Legal Assistant Today," said Charles Buckwalter, VP of Conexion International Media, Inc. "Legal Assistant Today shares areas of convergence with our other publication and we are confident that we will be able to maximize promotional opportunities with both current and new clients in the legal support community. In addition, we intend to build on LAT's strong legitimate base of paid subscribers and expand circulation to better serve the information needs of
the paralegal profession."

"I am pleased to have found a great new home for Legal Assistant Today at Conexion International Media, Inc.," said Jim Pawell, Founder and President of James Publishing. "We wish continued growth and success for the publication and we are confident that it will continue to thrive under its new ownership."
