The ABA Journal “Blawg 100” is Different This Year: eDiscovery Trends

For the past several years, the ABA Journal has published a list of the 100 best legal blogs.  They are requesting input again this year, but, with a twist.  This year, they are expanding the scope of their annual year-end feature beyond legal blogs to also include the best of lawyers’ websites, podcasts and social media.  As a result, they’re renaming it the ABA Journal Web 100.

If you have a favorite law blog (or “blawg”, get it?), law firm website that really impresses you, law-related podcast that you think others should listen to, or someone you think all lawyers should be following on social media, now is the time to nominate it for recognition.

On their Web 100 Amici page, you can complete the form to identify yourself, your employer or law school, your city and email address, the format (blog, law firm website, podcast or social media feed), the title (of the blog, law firm, feed or podcast), the Home Page URL, an example URL or title (of a representative post, feature or episode) and a brief (up to 500 characters) description as to why you’re a fan.  You’re also asked whether you know the creator personally (and admonished to “be honest”) and whether ABA Journal can use your name and comment in their coverage.

On the nomination page, ABA Journal provides sections with more information about “blawg”, law firm website, podcast and social media amici to help guide those in their “Friend of the Web briefs”, which are due by no later than 11:59 p.m. CST on Sunday, July 30, 2017 to include your nomination.

Anyway, if you have enjoyed reading eDiscovery Daily over the past several years and found our blog to be informative, we would love to be recognized!  Feel free to click on the link here to nominate us!  We appreciate the consideration!

There are several other excellent eDiscovery related blogs and resources out there, so feel free to nominate them too.  Our hats are off to all of those who provide eDiscovery news and analysis to the industry.  Hopefully, there will be a greater representation of eDiscovery blogs and resources on the list than there has been in the past couple of years, where hardly any have made the list.  Again, if you would like to nominate any of the blogs (including, of course, eDiscovery Daily) or other resources, click here.  Deadline is July 30.

So, what do you think?  Do you have a favorite eDiscovery blog or source of information?  Share it with our readers!  And, please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.

Also, if you’re going to be in Houston on July 20, Women in eDiscovery (WiE) Houston Chapter, in partnership with South Texas College of Law, will be hosting the inaugural eDiscovery “Legal Technology Showcase & Conference” at South Texas College of Law in downtown Houston.  I will be participating as a panelist on the “State of the Industry” panel and my colleague, Karen, will be moderating the “Legal Operations and Litigation Support” panel.  Click here for more information about the conference, including how to register!
