How to gain reading momentum
Creativity and diligence, rather than raw intelligence, often leads to success in our field. Reading widely will add colors to your palette.
The Internet for attorneys
Attorneys need to tap into their inner-techie, with their own website, social media pages, blogs and videos, according to a seminar at the MSBA’s Annual Meeting.
Malware deadline passes, very few knocked offline
WASHINGTON — If you’re reading this online, you’re fine. The day that was supposed to see thousands of people knocked off the Internet has arrived, but only a few people were affected. Thousands of Internet users across the U.S. and beyond waited too long or simply didn’t believe warnings that they would lose access to […]
SCOTUSblog 1, CNN and Fox 0
In the beginning, I hated SCOTUSblog. About 10 years ago, the then-fledgling online service providing near-instantaneous links and analysis of Supreme Court decisions was a direct competitor to my own nascent email service in which I promised subscribers same-day news articles on every case granted, argued and decided by the justices.

For the love of blawg!

Young lawyers, add these blogs to your RSS feed
One of the best ways to stay on top of the ever-changing law and current events is to follow blogs. Sure, the blogosphere has its detractors, but there are great resources out there for any new lawyer needing some advice. Once you find a blog that is follow-worthy, it can be difficult to remember to […]
Lawyer/blogger granted press pass
Jay Liner will receive a State House press pass after all. Liner, a Pikesville lawyer and blogger, learned last week that he had been cleared for media credentials by Gov. Martin O’Malley’s press office. Liner had been denied a press pass in January and filed a lawsuit the following month to force the O’Malley administration […]
