Bar Council Blog

April 20, 2007 – 8:52 pm

Since he blogged about it last week he is of the view that it is looking goooood baby! Interesting posts by blogger Tim Kevan and Tricia Howse. And the comments system now works so that it is no longer a one way conversation. Let’s hope that it remains dynamic and alive: popularity will grow […]

How much is your blog worth?

April 13, 2007 – 7:18 pm

Wondering if you can retire to Bermuda without ever needing to draft a single pleading? Check out the value of your blog here. This blog is apparently worth $11,290.80. Which is incorrect since this blog is, of course, priceless.

Bar Council blogging!

April 12, 2007 – 10:04 am

OMG!!
It seems (thank you Charon for spotting it) that the Bar Council has been stunned into action by Geeklawyer’s shameful mockery (For which he is very very sorry indeed, please put down that dentist’s drill Mr Voss).
The Bar Council has a blog! Chairman of the Bar Geoffrey Vos QC has broken a bottle […]

Legal Blog categories not yet seen in the wild …

March 30, 2007 – 8:36 pm

Geeklawyer was wondering if anyone knew of charity or trust law blogs? His first stop, naturally, was Binary law who has found nothing.
I suppose a decent news site would do but most of those seem to be sales pitches: “We at Muttley Dastardly LLP know most of what there is to know about trust law, […]

Watch out - Ruthie’s about (private post for time being)

March 28, 2007 – 9:00 pm

Yes Geeklawyer knows that he promised to gossip less and write more law. And he has done. But be honest you do like a bit of gossip don’t you? really.
This weeks gossip is Minor Junior. Yes that dark pernicious force of evil lurking behind Ruthie, he who inspired Dostoevsky to create Svidrigailov, is at it […]

CharonQC new podcast …

March 21, 2007 – 5:15 pm

Charon has asked me to pimp his new podcast. Geeklawyer is happy to do so: the interviews are always very good indeed and the podcasts are improving with Charon’s growth in confidence.
Geeklawyer wishes that his own podcasts were so good. Talking of which, a new podcast must be done soon. It is December since the […]

UK law bloggers virus does the rounds …

March 21, 2007 – 5:00 pm

Disasters, it seems, like buses come in threes. First Geeklawyer’s blog goes tits up then Charon QC’s blog follows suite.
OK, before the Singing Accountant jumps in to point at that Geeklawyer has made a catastrophic 50% balance sheet error, he’ll admit that, technically, that is only two disasters. Geeklawyer’s fee notes have also been known […]

Employment law blog

February 18, 2007 – 3:53 pm

It looks as though some people, at least, are capable of getting a clue about how to do a law firm blog properly. Philip Hyland at pjhlaw, an WestEast Midlands employment law specialist, emailed Geeklawyer alerting him to the firms blog, employmentlawatwork. Very interesting.

Another trog spotted in the wild

February 8, 2007 – 8:49 pm

CharonQC and Binary Law have found another trainee blog. Quite why these trogs are crap whichever firm does them is unclear. This one is not quite so bad as the dismal Watson Farley Williams effort which is a masterclass in how to do it badly (and which is still wheezing along despite the opprobrium heaped […]

Blawging hits the big media

October 11, 2005 – 11:53 pm

Lawfirmblogging.com reports on a New York Times blawging article which says that about 5% of US lawyers blawg. Not a scientific survey, by all accounts, but more than Geeklawyer would have guessed. In the UK we are usually less developed in these Internet trends so the figure must be very much smaller.
