The 2008 CLawBies

Just a quick note to say the 2008 Canadian Law Blog Awards are now live at Clawbies.ca. Congratulations to the winners, and also to those who took part in the new nomination process. A complete roundup of the nominations is listed over at the Vancouver Law Librarian Blog, and I would encourage everyone to surf through those peer-to-peer recommendations.

Similar to last year, everyone will have a chance to blog an ‘acceptance speech’ and I will relay those posts on the Stem Blog during the second week of January.

Happy New Year!
Steve

    Thanks for all your work on the Clawbies Steve – and what a great nominations process. I loved how it involved the whole community in the decision making process! Happy New Year!

    In addition to my immense appreciation to Steve for the honour and all his work on the CLawBies, I want to send a shout-out to Slaw, which deservedly led all Canadian law blogs with three CLawBie mentions, including the Best Legal Culture Award and Best Legal Technology Blog awards. "Slaw has become a beacon for what Canadian law blogs have to offer," said Steve, and I couldn't agree more; I'm proud and privileged to be part of this community.

    I agree. Slaw is an amazing community we have built. I don't know of any group quite like it.

    Steve, thank you!!
