I was already against SOPA before the internet blackout today, so Wikipedia et al. shutting down didn't necessarily impact my thoughts on the legislation. However, it did make me realize how much I have grown accustomed to using Wikipedia in everyday life. I know it isn't always perfect, but for the quick refresher or primer on most topics, it is an invaluable resource. It also made me wonder whether any of our readers were impacted by the action. Did you change your mind on SOPA one way or… [read post]

Protecting yourself and your clients is more than just about the law we know. Tragedy could strike at any time. A hard drive quits on you. Files get corrupted from a sudden surge of electricity. Files can get lost based upon an immediate loss of power without proper battery backup systems. This should be a concern of lawyers in Rhode Island practicing divorce. You and your clients deserve to be protected in more ways than one. I've tried and tested virtually every major internet backup system from… [read post]

No I'm Blogging This by Andre Charland
I taught a class this week at Gangplank, an awesome collaborative co-working space in Chandler, on some of the legalities of blogging. It was part of Gangplank Academy. As I was going through my notes in preparation of this class, it occurred to me that there are some critical questions every blogger should ask themselves before publishing a new blog post.
1. Is all the information in your blog verifiable?
2. Is every statement that isn’t… [read post]

Frequently Adding Content Is Crucial
I wrote a post recently highlighting the benefits of blogging for your firm. We hear “the experts” tell us all the time that we need a blog. I know plenty of lawyers that have set one up. They blog for awhile, get too busy, and before they know it, the blog hasn’t been updated in 4 months.
Actively Blogging Is The Key
So what can creating new content, ie: active blogging, do for you? Here is a convincing study from HubSpot:

// This is no joke! A stand-up comedian sued by her husband's family for making Jewish mother-in-law jokes gets to enjoy the punchline after a federal judge threw the case out of court. The comedian's descriptions of her in-laws, though laced with implications of racism, were merely "colorful, figurative rhetoric," U.S. District Judge Mary Cooper said in dismissing the suit, Edelman v. Croonquist, 09-cv-1938. Sunda Croonquist, whose comedy routine for years has been to describe her life as a… [read post]

Before Maria Stengart quit her job, she was already making plans to sue her employer. She e-mailed her lawyer during business hours from her company-issued laptop, though she was circumspect enough to use her personal Web-based Yahoo e-mail account. It was not until discovery in the ensuing hostile-workplace, constructive-discharge case that she learned company lawyers had a copy of the message, which was automatically saved on the laptop's hard drive as a temporary file. Now a Bergen County judge,… [read post]

Stengart v. Loving Care Agency, Inc. (A-16-09)(March 30, 2010). We first reported on this case in March 2009, when the trial judge found in favor of the employer by holding that the employee's e-mails to her attorney… [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]
