The First Annual Bloggers’ Best Awards
In recognition of the fact that the ABA's best law blogs contest is a joke, Mark Bennett has graciously offered to host the First Annual Bloggers' Best Awards. Wonderful idea - one vote per voter and only bloggers, who know what they're talking about, can vote. Honestly, I don't read many blogs other than criminal defense and a few personal injury blogs, but here's the ones that I do read (and a few ideas for categories that Bennett forgot):
* Best Personal Injury Law Blog: Paul Luvera's Plaintiff's Trial Lawyer Tips
* Best Criminal Law Blog: Defending People (have to, sorry)
* Best Legal Humor Blog: Courtoons
* Best Legal Criticism or Opinion Blog: Simple Justice (I honestly think you belong in this category Scott)
* Best Legal News or Politics Blog: Grits for Breakfast (even though the content is fairly local)
* Best Law Prof Blog: Legal Ethics Forum
* Best Law Blog in a Category SMT forgot:
Best Public Defender Blog: A Public Defender (public defenders really deserve their own sub-category. They could even win twice that way.)
Most original concept for a 2009 blog: Law and Baseball
Best law blog that defies categorization: The Life and Times of a Texas Trial Lawyer
Best criminal law blog on a marketing-blog-type platform other than wordpress or blogger.com:S.C. Criminal Defense Blog (seriously. I might could win twice that way like Gideon.)

This post was very informative. I have bookmarked it for later use.
