Geeklawyer fangirl hits the bigtime

Geeklawyer is feeling a wee bit bitter and twisted. First Geeklawyer got beaten to a Times writing gig by law blogger BabyBarista (who feigned surprise at this and expressed both justifiable admiration for Geeklawyer and pain at his being deprived of his rightful dues). Then Geeklawyer blog fangirl, Evil Lena gets a Comment is Free […]

Geeklawyer’s Evil Twin Sister

Geeklawyer has discovered his long lost evil twin sister. It is no surprise that it should be thus. As a physicist Geeklawyer can tell you that one of the most powerful attractive forces known to science is Filial Evil. Forget the Strong Force of Quantum Electrodynamics, that’s just bollocks by comparison. They came together through […]

Filthy lucre

First off it was bleedin’ BabyBarista who got a writing gig at the Times. Smug git.
Now it’s Martin George at conflictoflaws.net whose blog is being sponsored by Clifford Chance. Double smug git.
Perhaps it would surprise you to learn there was a bidding war to sponsor this blog: Bird and Bird, Olswang, Herbert Smith and Colins […]

Meme viruses

Dan Hull at WAC? is propagating another meme: the 10 best blawgs - nominate then recirculate. Inclusion on my list is based on merit to a degree - but sometimes it is a necessity if Geeklawyer wants to keep having his cock sucked (hey girl - here’s cum in your eye).
1) Geeklawyer: Being egotistical […]

Blawg Review

Geeklawyer will be hosting the Blawg Review on June 30th 2008. The Blawg Review is a well regarded balanced and intelligent review of the best of the Blawgosphere (ick).
Geeklawyer is grateful to finally be able to accede to the repeated & interminable groveling of the editor to host it. He intends to repay this […]

Ruthie has a real new venture

Ruthie is pleased to announce her new website (warning: liable to induce narcolepsy in anyone other than criminal lawyers, defendants or magistrates). This will be a blog dedicated to an academic discussion of criminal law, with particular emphasis on regulatory crime, which is what Ruthie actually does all day when she’s not playing on here. […]

Martin, anonymity and LegalScribbles

Read (rather late) at Binary Law: The author of conflictoflaws.net and the now moribund LegalScribbles blog has de-cloaked off the starboard bow. He is Martin George an academic from Birmingham. Anonymity is a pet topic of Geeklawyer.

Blogging employees face the sack - stating the bleeding obvious.

Human resources firm Croner commissioned YouGov to conduct a survey of employees who blog. 39% say that they reveal sensitive or damaging data about their companies or clients.
And apparently;
“If there is a negative impact on the organisation’s corporate image which is so serious that it breaches the implied term of mutual trust and confidence, […]

Motorcycle lawyer blog

Ran (ouch) across this one via Dan Hull. This is what Geeklawyer would call a niche blog, though in the US bikers are a distinct and economically viable sub-culture - so a biker specific lawyer probably isn’t that weird. And He’s going guess he gets decent commercial traffic from his blog.
Biking, and mistrust for the […]

New blog added

This one has been running since Sept ‘06 and is written by an anonymous lawyer who’s done 25 years hard labour service as a personal injuries lawyer. Geeklawyer is only sorry the job title is so deceptive, he could do with a lawyer who dishes out personal injuries (he also imagines that’s a very old […]
