Law blogs
All Blogs at the barcouncil (sic)
Thanks to the vigilant Charon QC for first spotting that the Bar Council has a blog on its new-look website. That’s to be welcomed; the more conversation the merrier, I say. But I do think the launch of a new blog by such a high profile “corporate” should have been handled with a little more […]
Law blogs @ LSE
Two useful new blogs from the LSE School of Law: Virtual Law@LSE aims to keep you up to date with developments in information and communications technology law from a UK perspective. MediaPaL@LSE provides comment and sources on media policy and law.
Conflict aside
Legal Scribbles is a great new blog where Martin George, law tutor at Birmingham University, lets off steam and struts his stuff. He’s also General Editor of the Conflict of Laws .net news and discussion portal/blog, but “conflictoflaws.net, whilst very interesting, is not exactly the place where one can post a rejoinder to something [vindictive] […]
Things come together
A number of bloggers have commented on the number of new blawgs that have recently appeared. So we are it seems progressing predictably faster along the lower reaches of that bell curve. In typical fashion Geeklawyer welcomes more law bloggers … cautiously: He’s sympathetic to free markets to a point and he welcomes, at an […]
More law blogs
Thanks to Pupilblog I’ve discovered a couple more law blogs. Legal Beagle is “a barrister’s cynical take on that hotbed of scandal and controversy, the Criminal Justice System”. John Flood’s Random Academic Thoughts is “a legal academic commenting on the strange worlds of law, legal profession, bureaucracy, universities, and globalization.” Reminder: You can browse all […]
Will Google strike a fair deal?
Welcome to the blawgosphere – and thanks – to Eoin O’Dell, a Fellow and Senior Lecturer at the School of Law, Trinity College Dublin, blogging at cearta.ie, mainly on contract, restitution, freedom of expression, media, IT and cyber law. He refers to the excellent recent article in the New Yorker by Jeffrey Toobin on the […]
Tax law blogs
Robert Newey, English Solicitor and Chartered Tax Adviser is blogging on Law and Tax. Hearteningly, he writes: inspired by your articles in Delia Venables’ newsletter [Ed: also published on this blog], I have set up a blog which I hope to update weekly. … At the moment I can’t find anyone else much writing on […]
Employment law blogs
Not one but three new employment law blogs to report: Employment Law Blog from Gail Escolme, specialist employment solicitor with Hayton Winkley Kendal, on the Westmorland Gazette site. Employment Law Blog from Charles Price, specialist employment barrister with No5 Chambers. Mark Ellis Blog from Mark Ellis, UK employment law solicitor and CEO at Ellis Whittam.
Has Binary Law gone nuts?
No, it’s a new, lookalike IP blawg. [Update: No longer a lookalike as Binary Law is using a new theme.]
The Legal Week community
Legal Week now has a trio of blogs with the addition of Legal Village. This is a collection of short articles by high-profile names. Active contributors thus far, with one post each, are: Bill Knight, Master of the City Solicitors’ Livery Company; Charles Martin, Head of Macfarlanes; Fiona Woolf, President of the Law Society of […]
New law bloggers
Spotted by Geeklawyer: Lawyers against Software Patents is self-explanatory. Pupilblog is an engaging diary of life as a pupil barrister: ‘It really does all feel very Dickensian.’ and by Nearly Legal: LI (legal information) Issues and thence to: Banking Lawyers Network.
Sports and not-so-sporting chances
Gambling Law Blog and Sports Law Blog are two new blogs from Cecile Park Publishing, publishers of the e-commercelawdirect range of newsletters. This is indicative of one direction blogging will take as it enters the consciousness of the commercial publishers. These blogs obviously have good credentials and are likely to be good ports of call. […]
New law bloggers
Two new law blogs: WigleyLaw is from Wigley & Co, a specialist technology, telecommunications, procurement, and sales/marketing law firm. Head of Legal is from a barrister specialising in European, human rights and public law. Not new, but overdue for a mention is Terminological Inexactitudes, an occasional rant about working in and using the English legal […]
Pirates or just small-time criminals?
Peter Black, an associate lecturer in law at the Queensland University of Technology, hosts this month’s Blawg Review on his Freedom To Differ blog, which focuses on the legal regulation of the internet and the media, providing an extensive selection of great links for the IP/media lawyer in particular. One that caught my eye was […]
