Update: BusinessWeek coverage by Lauren Gard here. She's got great insight. Not sure where the 7.5 million figure comes from though -- last year Law.com got 40+ million pageviews.
Today I launched Legal Blog Watch, where I'll provide a daily round-up of insights from these seven exceptional legal bloggers.
As you'll see in my first post, "Why blogs?", I consider the Law.com Blog Network an important next step in sponsored journalism, particularly in the role bloggers can play in providing news, information and cutting-edge analysis--whether you're an attorney or not.
I joined the effort because ALM/Law.com gets it: This media company is willing to affiliate with blogs in a way that preserves the bloggers' editorial integrity. The good Professor Volokh illustrates my point in his usual inimitable fashion, and you can hear J. Craig Williams second the motion here, if you listen to his Podcast.
I will continue to update Surfette regularly.
Shouldn't The Marcus Letter be in your blog roll? I've been doing it for lawyers and accountants for more than 8 years, and in hard copy for about 8 years before that. I'm read internationally by more than 22,000 lawyers, accountants, and the marketers who serve them. (This is a comment, not a post)
