Since October 2008, I’ve been both working and traveling more than I would have expected. Family, clients and our law firm come first, in that order. Always in fourth place: all non-billable writing. That means blog posts, articles and op-ed pieces on subjects from “The Future of Awesome New Rule 502, F.R.E.” to “The Mood of the Midwest: Women Lawyers of South Bend Speak Out”. We repeat: blogging is fourth. Always.
But we still read Blawg Review every week–whether we write about it or not. Always. And the last two featured the best of the old and the new: fellow Scot-Welshman J. Craig Williams, one of the few true lawyer-journalists out there, multi-talented and enduring, turned in a fine Celtic Blawg Review # at his May It Please The Court. Last week, Jordan Furlong, a visionary but sober Canadian writer–he immediately impressed us with his insights on where this profession going when he started in January 2008–wowed us again with his # ___ at his Law21. WAC? included both of these blogs in our ___ post about the handful of must-read blogs.
