It’s not the Olympics, but it sure is nice to hit the ABA 100 Blawg Amici list (Photo: Hilary_JW on Flickr)
Well, it’s that time of the year again. The time when all of us legal bloggers shamelessly ask for your support in trying to garner a spot in the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Blawg 100 Amici. But this year, I thought I’d be constructive and offer you all an opinion on some of the better construction law blogs – and other law blogs – floating around the web.
If you are… [read post]

Beverage law on the web – a seldom seen thing.
Looking for more beverage law across the web? Me too. The ABA 100 Blawg Amici is up for votes right now, and I can assure you that you are likely to see a glaring omission from the representatives in beverage law. Here are a few of my favorites though, if you are looking to add to your Google Reader list:

2009 was a fluke.
2010 had to have been a mistake.
2011 was the time they forgot to update their 2010 list.
So what about 2012? Well, could it be that this little blog from Connecticut actually deserves to be on the ABA Journal’s Blawg 100 as one of the best law blogs in the country?
I’d still shake my head. Heck, even my mother-in-law seemed a little curious with my selection on the list.
But here we are for the fourth year in a row, appearing as one of just five employment law… [read post]

400 posts. 2 years. Still standing.
Want to know something crazy? This is my 400th post. I cannot believe it, because just two years ago I sat down to pump out the first ever. 400 posts later, The Builders Counsel still stands – thanks to all of you.
When I first started The Builders Counsel, I was unsure what it was or what it would become. There is nothing worse than starting a blog to start a blog. But I had just started my own practice and knew that I needed to stay in tune with… [read post]

I gave a How-To Start Blogging session yesterday (deck & handouts in my next post) and received this question afterward:
Q:
Do you recommend hosting your blog on your firm website or linking from your site to [external] blog sites such as blogger/wordpress?
A: It really is fine to do either. There are some strongly polarized opinions on separate versus apart, though, and I try to keep an open mind to both sides of the argument.
A WordPress site (or MovableType) that is self-hosted can… [read post]

A full year of service! Many more to come.
Yesterday, I had planned on posting my 1st anniversary post. Unfortunately, my hosting service had a meltdown and the site had some major problems; this is one of many headaches associated with running your own blog.
Alas, the headache is nothing compared to the great joy that the blog brings. Running this blog has brought me closer to the great minds of this wonderful construction industry. The online network of attorneys, engineers, contractors, material… [read post]

The fun thing about writing your own blog, or running your own law firm, or having your own donut shop for that matter, is that it provides you with an opportunity to be competitive with other blogs, law firms and donut shops.
One of my goals this year was for Cruise Law News (CLN) to become a top 25 blog on the popularity chart of Avvo"s Top Legal Blogs (which is based on the Alexa tracking system). I am ahead of schedule. Today, CLN was the 14th most popular law blog - just barely nosing… [read post]

We discuss the importance of getting more interaction when a visitor arrives on your legal blog all the time with our clients. I think sometimes lawyers overlook this aspect since there is so much focus on getting found in the search engines and generating traffic. But who cares if you are generating traffic and most of the visitors choose to leave your site before they interact? We want them to call, fill out web forms, download guides and e-books, leave comments on your blog posts, etc. I… [read post]

Utah Criminal Defense Lawyers – Privileged Communications
In Utah Criminal Defense Cases and trials, there are some special circumstances in which a person may refrain or even be prohibited from testifying about certain matters. Privileged communications may occur when a person has gained information as a result of a confidential relationship. Such exchanges of confidential information are known in the legal world as “privileged communications.” If a privilege exists, evidence of any… [read post]

For the past six months, I have been tracking the popularity of my blog Cruise Law News (CLN) on Avvo / Alexa Top Legal Blogs. When I first started looking at the rankings, CLN was the 55th most popular law blog. Today, CLN cracked Avvo's list of the top ten (10) most popular law blogs.
I started blogging in mid-September last year after joining the LexBlog family. LexBlog's CEO and blog guru Kevin O'Keefe counseled me not to be narcissist and get caught up in popularity… [read post]

Coming Soon by Rebecca Wilson
I’m so excited to announce that my first ebook, The Legal Side of Blogging: How Not to get Sued, Fired, Arrested, or Killed will be released on Amazon next week!
I’ve been blogging since 2009 and I wanted to write a book by a blogger for bloggers about the legal issues that come with having a blog. This book is a combination of multiple research projects on the legalities of blogging that I’ve done over the last two years. This books combines the findings of those… [read post]

When I converted this website from a static site to a blog in 2007, I didn't want my "new house" to look unfurnished so for the first month or so I added posts and articles almost every day.
It was a very good thing that I did.
I saw an immediate upsurge in traffic to my site, I received many emails thanking me for the content, and I got a lot of new leads for my products and services.
I was new to blogging, but I was very glad I made the leap. Today, I post every… [read post]

A blog posting about blogs? Go figure!
Since 2007, the American Bar Association has listed its favorite 100 “Blawgs.” (The term “blawg” originated with Denise Howell, an attorney at the Reed Smith firm.) Readers are invited to go to the ABA Journal website and vote for their favorite blogs in each category before the close of business on December 30th. There are 12 categories to choose from and by registering, one is able to obtain 12 votes for 12 different blogs. If you’re not… [read post]

Very interesting post from our friends over at Hubspot explaining what blogging can do for your business. I am an analytical person and always enjoy some empirical data to back up an argument. All too often, I think that blogging is pushed onto the legal community as something that needs to be done, but lawyers without a lot of online marketing experience don't understand why. Here are some numbers from Hubspot's study to convince you why your firm needs to be actively involved with blogging: A… [read post]

The Atkins Diet
In the early 1970’s a man by the name of Robert Atkins developed a diet method that would allow men and women to lose extra fat, this diet became known as the Atkins diet. This diet consists of little to no carbohydrates and usually a higher consumption of proteins. The main goal of the Atkins diet is to consume foods that will allow the human body to burn fat for energy rather than the usual carbohydrates for energy. Because carbohydrates are limited fats and proteins replace… [read post]

Doctor Convicted of Illegally Dispensing Painkillers
After deliberating for 18 hours the jury in the case against Dr. Dewey MacKay found him guilty of 40 counts of illegally prescribing pills and not guilty on another 46 counts. Two of the counts they found him guilty on however were in relation to the death of a 55-year-old male patient. During the case the federal prosecutors had argued that MacKay was essentially acting as a drug dealer by not checking patient information and prescribing to… [read post]

Blog posts reinforce your expertise and reputation
I found this article on CNN’s website: ‘How can small companies make money from social media?’, and it made me start thinking about whether social media is a business for law firms.
I joined LinkedIn and Ecademy back in 2004. I now have profiles on Xing, Plaxo, Facebook, Elysiants, Legal360.nl, Martindale-Hubbell Connected and several other sites too. Joining these sites has been an important step in improving my networking activities,… [read post]

Earlier this year, I first learned of Avvo's "Top Legal Blogs" while reading a solo blogger lamenting that his law blog fell out of Avvo's top 10 law blog list. I was intrigued by the rankings and began to read the top blogs to try and figure out why they were so popular.
Some of the blogs were really interesting and I began to follow them on a regular basis. Some were dreadfully boring, or at least I thought so. All of the blogs had been publishing for many years.
Unlike the… [read post]
