Our condoloences to family, friends & colleagues…

For nearly two decades, one person reigned supreme over the world of legal technology. Such was Monica Bay’s prominence and influence that, when she retired in 2015 after 17 years as editor of Law Technology News, Thomson Reuters honored her with her name and image emblazoned above Times Square. As a dear friend, trusted mentor, and inspirational role model to so many in the world of legal tech, Monica stood alone.
I am therefore deeply saddened to report that Monica died Friday, Oct. 27, at the age of 74, after several years of battling a neurological disease. At the time of her death, she was living in El Dorado Hills, Calif., close to her brother Bill and his family.
Monica started in journalism as a rock-and-roll reviewer before going to law school, practicing law briefly, and then joining ALM, where she worked for 30 years.
She started there as a senior editor at ALM’s San Francisco newspaper The Recorder and with Counsel Connect, the predecessor to Law.com. Beginning in 1998, she moved to New York and became editor of Law Technology News , the former magazine that has since relaunched digitally as Legaltech News.
