Mixed Martial Arts Law Blog goes Live
One of the most inventive and novel lawyer blogs went live yesterday: David Nelmark's Mixed Martial Arts Law Blog.
No, David is not a raging ultimate cage fighter. In fact he's a charming, mild-mannered associate at in the Des Moines, Iowa, law firm of Belin Lamson McCormick Zumbach Flynn. A Stanford Law honors grad and former federal court clerk, he helps individuals and businesses protect their brands, image and ideas and enforce their rights in court when necessary.
David has been an MMA fan for 15 years and plans to harness his journalism background to make the blog a clearinghouse for all things related to MMA law -- including issues that pertain to promoters, fighters, venues, vendors and broadcasters.
He's already blogged about a criminal case, a lawsuit and a critique of a local lawyer who is utilizing the case of an injured fighter to tout tort reform. I call the Belin law firm "the Cravath of Iowa" (where I grew up, coincidentally), and it's a firm of valedictorians, law review editors and Ivy League law grads. I give the firm a lot of credit for cleverly finding a niche in this fast-growing sport. You can find his blog at http://www.mixedmartialartslawblog.com/
