Law blogs
Law blog search
Two new (US-based) law blog search tools: Blawg.com is a relaunch of Blawg.org with 1233 entries in 26 categories. It remains a coventional searchable catalogue with brief descriptions and links to both the blogs and their feeds. BlawgSearch is a more advanced offering from Justia with 900 entries in 40 subject categories, 169 state law […]
No sign of the Times
What’s happened to the TimesOnline Law Weblog which has disappeared from the radar? At the time of its launch I wondered how the TimesOnline Law section and the Law Weblog would co-exist, commenting that, compared to news sites, blogs “allow less formal reporting and comment, free from the usual editorial strictures”. Could it be the […]
Fertile ground for law blogs (2)
Following my recent post in which I suggested The Lawyer should get blogging, I note that Legal Week has done just that, with the Editor’s Blog and The Daily Diary (your one-stop gossip shop). There’s lots of good comment in all the legal weeklies, so why not share it with us? You’ll get a result.
Let’s get social
Blog software is what is these days called “social software” – software “which enables people to rendezvous, connect or collaborate through computer-mediated communication and to form online communities.” Unlike other communities which exist in a particular space (like MySpace, a wiki etc), the blogosphere is a virtual space, created principally by the links to other […]
Blawg Review #78
An overdue recommendation that you visit Justin Patten’s Blawg Review #78. Each weekly issue of Blawg Review is made up of article submissions selected from the best recent law blog posts. The blogger that puts together the Blawg Review carnival each week is called the “host”. Justin does an admirable job, commenting on numerous blogs […]
All you need to know about …
New blogger, DivorceSolicitor: Single mother with 3 children, 2 ex husbands, 1 boyfriend (doubles as ex husband) and 0 pets. Hobbies include cooking, horse-riding, reading, knitting, DIY, dancing, but I don’t have time to do any of these as I spend all free-time socialising with 6 friends (you know who you are). Used to like […]
Fertile ground for law blogs
I had a long overdue face-to-face with Justin of Human Law last week. We bemoaned the state of the legal blogosphere. In fact, there are so few points on the surface of this sphere, that it hardly rates as a sphere at all, even a small one. Should we actively try to expand it or […]
PR lessons for law firms
I’ve held back, so far, on comment on the Watson Farley & Williams so-called trainee law blog. The dust has now settled and the issue is well covered by Justin at Human Law. But here’s my take. This is not a blog: anyone familiar with blogs visiting it will see that it exhibits none of […]
e-Books for lawyers
I have expended much of my creative effort these last few weeks finishing off a couple of new e-books with 5 CPD points a pop on the subject of the legal web, produced by me and Delia Venables and just published on infolaw. You’ll find full details there, but here’s a quick summary. Changing Practice […]
Making an impact
IMPACT is a new blog brought to you by the Intellectual Property and Technology team at UK law firm Freeth Cartwright LLP.
The new Blogger (with a capital B)
John Bolch at Family Lore is the first law blogger I know of to adopt the new Blogger platform which is currently in beta. Family Lore thus has a new look and new features. With this release Blogger has at last introduced categorisation. Another nice new feature is that archive links can be expanded to […]
New kids on the blog
Corporate Blawg UK is “an informal discussion forum on company and commercial law in the UK.” Law andstuff sells itself in typical student fashion as the “crazy ramblings about the law from the biased perspective of a UK law student … In an attempt to be unoriginal this blog is about law, the internet, student […]
Down but not out
Wearyconveyancer has found it in him to set up”a blog to rant about all aspects of conveyancing that cause me pain (which to be fair is most of it) and to reflect on 38 years of practising law in a high street environment.”
Blog comings and goings
Joy London’s Excited Utterances KM blog is no more. She has joined forces with Sean Hocking of Practice Sourceand Excited Utterances will be delivered “direct to desktop” with Law Librarian Newsto subscribers in PDF. The Practice Source site has had a facelift and hosts bothSean’s House of Butter blog of law publishing news and a […]
Gun-toting law student fires off a few rounds
In the spirit of back-scratching that we adopt in the blogosphere, I’m pleased to point you to The Twenty-Something, the blog of law student, TAand aspiring barrister Miss H. I’m guessing there must be thousands of law students blogging, and I’m not about to start tracking all their rants and ramblings, but Miss H standsout […]
