NEWTON, MA - The Law Offices of James Sokolove (LOJS), dedicated to providing equal access to the civil justice system, announced that its MesoRC website ( www.MesoRC.com) has received a prestigious WebAward from the Web Marketing Association as one of the best web sites in 2008. Joining prior winners in the Health Care Standard of Excellence category, the website scored a first ever win for a law firm in that category.

This year's competition saw more than 2,400 sites from 45 countries being judged in 96 industry categories. Entries were judged on design, copy writing, innovation, content, interactivity, navigation, and technology.

"Our firm was founded with the mission that consumer legal needs are best met by giving consumers important and timely information," said James Sokolove, founder of LOJS. "In envisioning MesoRC, we wanted to build an innovative online community that would embody that mission by allowing mesothelioma victims and their loved ones to benefit from the experiences of others and to make their voices heard as they face life altering situations."

In a continued effort to provide visitors with the most comprehensive mesothelioma and asbestos-related resources, MesoRC is pleased to announce the addition of the Mesothelioma Ongoing Clinical Trials page to our site. This page provides visitors with important information regarding more than 40 current mesothelioma clinical trials taking place throughout the U.S. and Canada. These clinical trials focus on a variety of different treatments and therapies ranging from experimental chemotherapy to innovative new drug treatments.

While the MesoRC has always had lots of general information pertaining to clinical trials, visitors had to go offsite to find information on clinical trials that were currently taking place. This is no longer an issue as we are now able to bring the clinical trial resources and information straight to you in a concise, user-friendly way.

Recent consideration has been set forth by the MesoRC to embark upon a patient focused mesothelioma event. The format and focus of the event has yet to be decided, as we are trying to obtain as much feedback as possible before making any final decisions.

We want to hear from you!! We want to know what types of speakers you'd like to hear from, what format you would like the event to be, what topics are of interest to you, etc.

So, if you have a few seconds and want to share your thoughts with us, please fill out our quick Survey by Clicking Here.

NEWTON, MA, June 27, 2008 — The Law Offices of James Sokolove (LOJS), dedicated to providing greater access to the civil justice system, introduced more features to the ground-breaking community site, Mesothelioma Resource Center (MesoRC) to include a Community Marketplace and a Tribute Wall. The MesoRC website also provides a powerful one-stop informational resource for victims and families affected by this rare and aggressive cancer. Since its launch in September 2007, the site has seen continuing growth in traffic, and more importantly, in the dedicated involvement of its community.

The new MesoRC Community Marketplace offers insightful books on mesothelioma and other cancers, and novelties that seek to raise awareness of mesothelioma. With 2,500 new cases diagnosed annually in the US, mesothelioma, caused by exposure to asbestos, is often called an orphan cancer. As such, there are few research funds and often little help for patients who want to seek treatment at the twelve medical centers focused on advanced treatment options. LOJS may receive compensation from some of websites with links on MesoRC.com. LOJS donates all compensation received from websites based on these links to charitable organizations that benefit mesothelioma patients.

Another new MesoRC feature is the Tribute Wall to remember those affected by mesothelioma. This rolling recall of names by family, friends and loved ones is dedicated to the memory of mesothelioma victims.
