While scanning my Twitter feed, I came across a tweet by Kevin O'Keefe: We Honor the Fallen: Past ABA Journal Blawg 100 Entries Which Have Departed http://goo.gl/8ZMLu It led to a feature related to The 5th Annual ABA Journal Blawg 100 on the original 100 blawgs and the 23 that have stopped publishing. The ABA Journal started their Blawg 100 in 2007, the same year the Library of Congress started harvesting blawgs. I loved their opening paragraph: Blogs are ephemeral creatures.

What is the Principle of Criminal Lenity?
There is a long standing principle in Utah criminal law that if a new law is passed which reduces a criminal penalty that a criminal defendant gets the benefit of that law so long as he has not been sentenced. This means that if you are charged with a third degree felony in January. In February the legislature makes the crime a class B misdemeanor. In July you plea guilty or are found guilty by a jury. When you are sentenced you can only be convicted… [read post]

In December of 2010, I decided to enter the Blawg world. At the time I had no idea how to even begin. After some research, I found the web hosting service iPage which has great step-by-step instructional material.

For some time in 2009, the Construction Law Monitor published an “Around The Web” post each Friday, highlighting some of the top construction law updates around the web that week. We fell off the wagon a bit as 2009 came to a close, but starting this week we’re bringing the feature back.

Several months ago, I predicted that Cruise Law News (CLN) would become a top 25 law blog by the end of the year. Well, I was a bit off. CLN is now the top 20th law blog overall per the popular Avvo / Alexa ranking system. And its only October.
