The ABA Journal recently came out with its list of the 100 best legal blogs, as chosen by the ABA Journal's editors. This list has been thrice compiled, and this site, www.attorneybutler.nethas been thrice excluded. While this snub cuts me to the quick, I am at least in very good company. Very good local legal blogs did not make the list-Steve Gursten's Michigan Auto Law Blog, Michigan Lawyers Weekly's Michigan Lawyer , Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Michael Warren's fine blog, America's Survival Guide . Geoff Fieger's Fiegertime wasn't included, either.
The list did include such exhibits as Corporette. The latest post on this site is entitled Coffee Break: Bean’s Heritage Tote about a new line of tote bags from LL Bean. The previous post is The Warmth of Silk. I kid you not. One of the site's sponsors is Jones New York. This is one of our best, huh?
Well, folks the votes have been cast, the polls are closed and the results are in. You could vote for up to 10 of the blogs. So, I was a bit surprised that only 3 blogs received more than 300 votes---nationally! The vast majority received less-a lot less. The leading vote-getter in the business blog category collected a whopping 68 votes. By the way, there is some justice, Corporette, received only 64 votes in the Lighter Fare category.
Well, it appears that legal blogs have not taken the legal world by storm quite yet.
I think I'll survive not being listed in the Blawg 100. I'd hate to think that some year I might nudge Corporette off the ballot.
