Amy Kovar, writing on the LexisNexis Law Firm Marketing Blog provided an interesting list of blogging ideas for October and November in many different areas of law.  Check it out and give one a try.

Each month, we highlight upcoming events, anniversaries, holidays and observances that have a legal connection. These occasions may help inspire blogging topics. And because relevant online searches can spike in the days leading up to these events, topical blog posts may yield higher-than-normal traffic, while also improving your website's search engine rankings.

The second half of October and early November are full of occasions with legal tie-ins. Because there are so many events, we've categorized them by practice area.
