Although Dan Pinnington [1] recently mentioned [2] the current issue of LawPRO Magazine [3], he didn’t point out that we got some coverage in it too.
The section on blogs, found on page 4, gives special mention to Slaw [4],
Blogs also offer readers the opportunity to respond and comment, thus starting an online discussion. (Of course, this has its risks:
Readers’ comments must be monitored to ensure that offensive or defamatory material is not published on your blog.) …
Some notable Canadian law blogs include slaw [5] (www.slaw.ca), “a Canadian co-operative weblog about any and all things legal”
and Law 21: Dispatches From A Legal Profession On The Brink [6] (www.law21.ca) by Jordan Furlong, former editor-in-chief of the
Canadian Bar Association’s National Magazine.
Good examples of blogs by practising lawyers include Garry Wise’s Wise Law Blog [7](http://wiselaw.blogspot.com/) and the
Hull & Hull Estate Law Blog [8] (http://estatelaw.hullandhull.com).
There is also a more in-depth interview with Garry [9] on page 7, where he references Michael Carabash [10] and myself [11],
His blog is another means of “getting the information out there” – in a variety of formats. He often includes video clips, forexample, and has just added a video series [12] called OMG! Law Talk [13], which features “informal, but often emphatic conversations on legal issues, politics, technology and social media” between Wise and fellow law bloggers Michael Carabash and Omar Ha-Redeye.
