Nominate Your Favorite Legal Blog at The Expert Institute: eDiscovery Trends
Do you have a favorite eDiscovery blog? Or a favorite general legal blog? If you do, here’s a chance to see it recognized as one of the best.
For the third year in a row, The Expert Institute is conducting its Best Legal Blog Contest.
From now until September 15th, legal blog fans can nominate their favorite blogs and bloggers for inclusion in the voting round of the competition by completing the form via the “Nominate a Blog” link on their site here. You’ll be expected to provide your name and email address, the name and URL of the blog and you can provide an optional description as to why the blog deserves to be nominated. As with previous years, the nomination process is competitive, meaning the more nominations a blog receives, the more likely it is to be included in the public voting stage of the contest.
Once the contestants have been selected through the nomination process, the selected legal blogs will go head-to-head across nine different categories ranging from legal tech to criminal law. The blogs that receive the most votes will win a place in their Best Legal Blogs Hall of Fame (you can view the 2015 and 2016 winners here), while the three blogs that receive the most overall votes across all categories will win one of their three prizes.
The nomination period closes on September 15th at 12:00am (EDT), after which the nominations will be tallied and the contestants announced.
There are several excellent eDiscovery blogs out there and it would be great to see some of them make it through the nomination stage and at least one or two receive enough votes to be recognized as a top legal blog in legal tech. So, if there’s one you like, feel free to nominate it! Even if it’s eDiscovery Daily… :o)
Also, if you’ve been watching the news the past few days, you’ve seen the devastation in my hometown of Houston from Hurricane Harvey. What can you do to help? Consider donating online to the Houston Food Bank, Galveston County Food Bank or Corpus Christi Food Bank. Or the Coastal Bend Disaster Recovery Group. And, if you’re in the Houston area, you can volunteer at the American Red Cross here or by calling 713-526-8300. Thanks for your help.
So, what do you think? Do you have a favorite legal blog? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
eDiscovery Daily will be back after the Labor Day holiday with a new post on Tuesday, September 5.
