First up, Feedspot’s Top 100 Legal Blogs, which ranks yours truly at number 34 overall, and the top labor and employment law blog.
Next, Northeast Ohio’s ERC, which included me on its recent list of the Best HR Blogs (as the lone legal blog).
Third, Justipedia, which lists me as one of the Top Employment/Labor Attorneys to Follow on Twitter.
Finally, The Expert Institute nominated the blog as one of 2016’s best litigation blogs. If you’re inclined, you can even jump over and vote to move me up the list.
Thank you to each of these resources for including me. Each contains a plethora of blogs and tweeters that are worth checking out. I know I found some new resources to follow, and I’m confident you will too.
