We all know that there are a great many lawyers who blog (just look at our righthand nav!). But now it has become increasingly clear that the 'current events and politics' type bloggers - i.e. the ones who actually get the huge hit and pageview numbers - are as often as not lawyers. Beldar points it out, through the lens of the CBS document forgery scandal, in this post. These are the bloggers who, although lawyers, do not write about either the practice of law or their own specialties. So there is clearly a distinction between "legal bloggers" and "bloggers (many of whom happen to be lawyers)". The "legal bloggers" - the ones we are concerned with in this blog - distinguish themselves by being the experts, online, in their often very specific practice specialties, or through their insights into the art of running a law firm (management, marketing, technology, et cetera). Accordingly, I think the term "legal blogger" makes more sense now than ever, as a means to define this particular and specialized corner of the blogosphere.
