In an act of, pos­si­bly, drunken self-confidence the edi­tor of Blawg Review some 18 months ago invited Geeklawyer to do the July 4th review. The nor­mal remit of Blawg Review is to pro­vide bal­anced intel­li­gent inci­sive and/or amus­ing reviews of global law blogs. Quite what pos­sessed him to invite Geeklawyer to do it is beyond com­pre­hen­sion. Indeed ‘Ed’, now sober, seems to be of a sim­i­lar view if today’s email is to be believed:

“Hello Geeklawyer,
With trep­i­da­tion, we’re look­ing for­ward to your pre­sen­ta­tion of Blawg
Review #166 next Mon­day.”

Trip­ping lightly over the use of the royal ‘We’, Geeklawyer is hard pressed not to sym­pa­thise. Does a moment of drunken hubris sur­vive a retrac­tion of appoint­ment? “Dear Geeklawyer we think that, like Lord Byron, you are mad bad and dan­ger­ous to know. But unlike him, with no dis­cern­able tal­ent, so we have given your slot to a lawyer”

Appar­ently not.

Nonethe­less should any law related blawger/blogger wish to sub­ject him­self to the mer­cies of Geeklawyer they may be assured a sym­pa­thetic response. No guar­an­tee will be given of review since space is lim­ited but UK blawgers are par­tic­u­larly wel­come. How­ever, tedious Euro­pean blawgers can keep them­selves to them­selves, thank you, as even a Europhile like Geeklawyer has a bor­de­dom thresh­old more than 1 nanome­tre high.

Sub­mis­sions should be made to Geeklawyer via the Blawg Review sub­mis­sions page.
