Blawg Review #166

July 1, 2008 – 2:27 am

It’s traditional to give thanks to the mysterious and suspiciously evasive editor of Blawg Review for the privilege of dancing in the Blawg Carnival. In the case of this reviewer perhaps not only thanks but apologies & sympathy should be offered, and perplexity expressed.
Geeklawyer says “sympathy” since his reputation as a tabloid legal blogger may […]

Geeklawyer to run rampage through the next Blawg Review?

June 23, 2008 – 6:56 pm

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 […]

Blawg Review - the winner is (a Brit, well, sorta)

January 15, 2008 – 6:20 am

Geeklawyer has discovered that there is a winner of the 2007 Blawg Review of the Year. The winner is Colin Samuels Paradiso piece - deservedly so.
The mysterious editor of Blawg Review informs that Colin is a Brit by birth, so Geeklawyer will use that admittedly pathetically tenuous link to claim it as a Brit win. […]

MysteryQC fan club

July 17, 2007 – 3:40 pm

Geeklawyer is calm.
And he is starting the MysteryQC Fan club. For no real reason other than to annoy Ruthie. There, he’s said it; it’s all about revenge, spiteful little man. MysteryQC is also jolly good which helps - in fact he’s better than Ruthie by some margin.
Mind you, so is his hamster.

Fan clubs

July 17, 2007 – 3:30 pm

Geeklawyer completely denies that someone suggested he set up a fan club for their coblogger just to encourage them; and he hotly denies that they simultaneously complained that the said coblogger was getting threateningly over-popular.
Now please stop circulating these rumours that someone, who isn’t Geeklawyer, has created.
Funny business, coblogging. Deja vu etc

Is the curtain to fall after the opening night?

July 11, 2007 – 8:37 am

Oh my, oh my oh my. Ruthie’s new coblogger, MysteryQC - yes a real one not a self-appointed one - stepped onto the stage for the first time yesterday. Full of fear and trepidation he surely was, but also hopeful of a generous and kind spirited audience.
A sad miscalculation. His audience behaved like a bunch […]

Ya call *that* a Blawg Review?

June 30, 2007 – 9:48 am

Dan over at WAC? is lauding the British Invasion because Corporate Blawg and Nearly Legal, both friends of and admired by this blog (despite the Latter asserting that Geeklawyer was a commie - he is in fact a libertarian anarchistic nihilist), are hosting the US Blawg Review.
Well Geeklawyer is sure that it will be done […]

Martin, anonymity and LegalScribbles

June 10, 2007 – 9:40 am

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.

Charon podcasts on social media for lawyers

May 30, 2007 – 5:43 pm

An interesting chat between CharonQC and Alex & Andy the Impact bloggers at Freeth Carthwright. Interesting for their take on social media which echoes Headshift’s well regarded talk at LawBlog 2007. There is little doubt that social media will be causing a slow revolution in the legal profession.
It wasn’t all accurate however since Alex is […]
