Bob Ambrogi's Top 10 Blogs
.jpg)
I've known blogger Bob Ambrogi for 20 years and respect his opinion. He's a is a Massachusetts lawyer, writer and media consultant. He is author of the book, The Essential Guide to the Best (and Worst) Legal Sites on the Web. He also writes the blog LawSites, Media Law, co-writes Legal Blog Watch and cohosts the legal affairs podcast Coast to Coast.
So when he comes out with his list of the 10 best legal blogs, I take note and so should you. In his own words, they are:
- SCOTUSblog. I regularly cite this as the best demonstration of blogging's potential as a legitimate source of news and commentary.
- beSpacific. Sabrina Pacifici knows her topic, knows her audience and knows her sources, allowing her to deliver day in and day out.
- MyShingle.com. Anyone who thinks I choose Carolyn Elefant just because she's my co-blogger at Legal Blog Watch would be way wrong. Carolyn saw a need way back when for a blog that spoke to solo and small-firm lawyers, and she ran with it.
- LawBeat. Mark Obbie has staked out a blogging niche at the intersection of law and journalism, where he never writes a dull post.
- Real Lawyers Have Blogs. Kevin O'Keefe watches over trends in legal blogging with a combination of insight and attitude.
- f/k/a .... Some bloggers shoot from the hip, but never David Giacalone -- his posts are always thoughtful and, like the poet he is, he finds universal truths in daily events.
- Legal Profession Blog. The stories reported here of ethical and professional misconduct never cease to amaze me.
- Overlawyered. Rarely do I see eye-to-eye with authors Walter Olson and Ted Frank, but darned if they don't write one interesting blog.
- TalkLeft. Jeralyn Merritt keeps fighting the good fight against criminal and political injustice.
- How Appealing. Howard Bashman is the Energizer Bunny of legal blogging.
