For the last three years, the ABA has published its Blawg 100—a list of the best legal blogs as judged the the editors of the ABA Journal. The ABA will publish its 2010 list in December. This year, however, the ABA is soliciting recommendations:
Use the form below to tell us about a blawg—not your own—that you read regularly and think other lawyers should know about. If there is more than one blawg you want to support, feel free to send us more amici through the form. We’ll be including some of the best comments in our Blawg 100 coverage. But keep your remarks pithy—you have a 500-character limit…. Friend-of-the-blawg briefs are due no later than Friday, Oct. 1.
I’ve already made my votes (which I’m keeping to myself).
