Blawging in journalism


Washington Lawyer: Do You Blog?: “The legal technorati weren’t there at the dawn of the blogosphere, but by 2000 a handful of U.S. law professionals had joined diehard cybergeeks in discovering the sheer simplicity and power of web logs.”
Ben Wickert: Spanning the “Blawgsphere”: “Nnow, lawyers, law professors, law students, and even judges have grasped the Web as a medium of expression. Message boards, databases, and weblogs all over the internet have exponentially increased the dissemination of law-related information available to the public. Material once accessible only in trade journals or law libraries now can be found at the click of a button.”
Howard Rice: Corporate Blogging: Seize the Opportunity, but Control the Risks: “While corporate blogs offer novel opportunities, they also present significant legal risks. Companies that anticipate these issues and plan accordingly can reap the benefits of corporate blogging while reducing the risk of litigation.”
The Blawg Review is the latest legal blog community development project from Kevin Heller and Evan Schaeffer. This follows up on Blawgcast.com, the source for law-related podcasts.
