1950

Steven Brill (born August 22, 1950) is an American lawyer, journalist, and entrepreneur who founded monthly magazine The American Lawyer and cable channel Court TV.

Brill was born to a Jewish family in Far Rockaway, Queens, New York.

1979

In 1979, Brill launched The American Lawyer, a monthly magazine covering the business of law firms and lawyers in the United States and around the world.

Jill Abramson and Jim Cramer were among its early contributors.

1986

The magazine is noted for its surveys, including the "Am Law 100", an annual ranking of the top 100 U.S. law firms, which it launched in 1986.

1987

The magazine covered the meteoric rise and precipitous collapse of the law firm of Finley, Kumble, Wagner, Underberg, Manley, Myerson & Casey, in its September 1987 cover story, "Bye, Bye, Finley, Kumble", written by Brill.

1990

Both projects were combined and presented at the National Cable Television Association, in June 1990.

1991

In 1989, Brill founded Court TV (now TruTV), launching the network on July 1, 1991.

Among its original anchors were Fred Graham, who was still at the network twenty years later; Cynthia McFadden; and Terry Moran, who later joined ABC News.

The network was born out of two competing projects to launch cable channels with live courtroom proceedings, the American Trial Network from TimeWarner and American Lawyer Media and In Court from Cablevision and NBC.

Liberty Media joined the venture, in 1991.

Court TV featured continuous live trial coverage, with analysis by anchors.

The network's profile was raised during the Menéndez brothers' first trial and, later, the O. J. Simpson murder trial.

1997

In 1997, Brill resigned from Court TV.

1998

In June 1998, Brill launched Brill's Content, a media watchdog publication.

The magazine caused a stir in its very first issue, with Brill's article titled "Pressgate" charging that independent counsel Ken Starr and his office had been the source of much of the information for reporters regarding the grand jury proceedings about the Lewinsky scandal and that as a result, Starr may have violated federal law or ethical and prosecutorial guidelines.

The publication became less associated with Brill after its founding.

In July 2000, Brill launched Contentville, a site that sold books, magazine articles, and other content.

Contentville closed in September 2001.

and Brill's Content suspended publication in October 2001, after dissolving its partnership with Primedia.

In 2001 Brill began teaching an advanced journalism course at Yale.

In November 2001 Brill signed on as a contributing editor for Newsweek.

2003

In April 2003, After: How America Confronted the September 12 Era was published.

In October 2003, the America Prepared Campaign was launched.

In the fall of 2003, Brill founded the company Clear, a subsidiary of Verified Identity Pass, Inc. It allowed travelers to get through airport security quickly with an annual subscription to the program and pre-screening.

2009

Brill left the company in March 2009; it went out of business at 11 p.m. PDT on June 22, 2009.

2011

The company was sold to RR Donnelley for a reported $45 million in March 2011.

However, Donnelley's subsequent 10-K filing reported the price at closing was $19.6 million with the possibility of an additional payment to co-CEOs Brill and Crovitz (who both stayed with the company after the sale to Donnelley) of $15.3 million contingent upon meeting certain sales targets.

In August 2011, Brill published Class Warfare: Inside the Fight to Fix America's Schools.

It described the success of charter schools, using the Success Academy Charter Schools (then known as Harlem Success Academy) as an example, and profiled teacher Jessica Reid as a model of what could be done without union restrictions.

He claimed that unions, particularly the United Federation of Teachers and UFT president Randi Weingarten in New York City, protected incompetent teachers, and were opposed to pay-for-performance, and obstructed necessary reforms, a claim he had previously made in The New Yorker.

By the time Brill came to the end of the book, Reid had quit.

The long hours and stress of her job, with nightly calls to parents, and constant prodding of students, were affecting her marriage.

Brill went on to write that charters, which he continued to support, were not practically scalable to be a replacement for the current public education system, and that broader improvements would require the efforts of current public school teachers and their unions.

2013

As of March 2013, more than 400 newspapers, magazines and online-only websites used JO's Press+ service to charge for digital content.
