About ABA TECHSHOW

Just a quick note this morning to take part in an Internet meme I can get behind: a two-day promotional effort for ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago April 2-4. If you don’t know (and if you read this site, that’s pretty unlikely), ABA TECHSHOW is the world’s premier legal technology CLE conference & expo. It’s a [...]

Law21 honoured with CLawBies

But then along came another reason to be grateful and another person whom  I want to thank. Dennis Kennedy has released his 2008 Best [...]

Law21 makes ABA Journal’s Blawg 100 list

I’m delighted and honoured to report that the editors of the ABA Journal have included Law21 in their 2008 listing of the 100 best law blogs. It totally caught me off guard — I didn’t even know they were handing these things out this month — and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s an [...]

The power of positive blogging

It’s not often I can derive a blog post from a tweet, but Debbie Weil‘s recent Twitter entry sent me to this thought-provoking post at CopyBlogger, and got me thinking about the purpose of the legal blogosphere. Brian Clark’s entry talks about the phenomenon of “social proof” — people’s tendency to judge the quality of [...]

5 blogs and 5 blawgers

Eight months into this gig, and I’ve finally received my first “five things” meme! Colin Samuels at Infamy or Praise went and tagged me in his recent post to continue this game: “The idea is to post links to five great blogs (other than law blogs) on your blawg and tag five of your favorite [...]
