"No longer to be confused as a fad or the realm of the tech-savvy, law blogs are rooted in the legal media landscape," ABA Journal Editor and Publisher Allen Pusey said. "While traditional media sources often break news, law blogs dive deeper to offer insight into what the news means for clients, the legal profession and the public. They are sometimes-irreverent watchdogs of the bench and bar. And the ones on our list are well-written and, more often than not, entertaining."
