[edit] History
The Martindale Directory was first published in 1868 by James B. Martindale, a lawyer and businessman.[2] Its purpose was "to furnish to lawyers, bankers, wholesale merchants, manufacturers, real estate agents, and all others…the address of one reliable law firm, one reliable bank, and one reliable real estate office in every city in the United States..."[2] By 1896, the directory included basic information that still appears in the modern "Practice Profile" listings, as well as ratings and a section on foreign lawyers and firms.[2]
In 1930, the Martindale Company purchased the publishing rights to Hubbell's Legal Directory which consisted of: a digest of the collected laws of each state; court calendars; and a selective list of lawyers and firms.[2]
Through the combination of the Martindale Directory and the Hubbell Legal Directory, the first edition of the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory was produced in 1931 as a two-volume set. Volume I consisted of the lawyer listings and volume II the "Law Digest".[2]
In 1990, Martindale-Hubbell was purchased by Reed International P.L.C.[1]
