The Internet is filled with blogs that discuss everything from politics to Lindsay Lohan's latest escapade.
The legal profession embraced the blog concept almost from the start. A law blog is called a blawg for obvious reasons. It seems there is a blawg for every legal specialty or interest. You name it. Here's a quick and cursory list: The Mommy Blawg, Sports Law Blog, Public Defender Stuff, Above the Law: A Legal Tabloid, How Appealing. You get the idea. Anything legal goes.

Kids do it. Jurors do it. Even members of the bar do it. Online social networking is more than a time-killer, say some Rochester attorneys, who also use it increasingly as a marketing tool.
Some larger law firms are resisting the trend, however. According to an informal survey reported in the March 2009 edition of Law Practice Magazine, 45 percent of law firms are now blocking access to some social Web sites. The survey, conducted in January 2009 by Doug Cornelius on Zoomerang.com, received 231 responses.

A friend of mine from my Public Defender days who still works at the PD's office recently emailed me and asked to write an article about iPad apps for lawyers. I was happy to oblige -- especially since I regularly write about topics like this at my blog, the Legal iPad (www.legal-ipad.com).
First off, before you purchase any apps, spend some time with your iPad, think about your workflow and decide whether you plan to create content, consume content or both. This decision will necessarily affect which apps you choose to purchase. Since iPad apps tend to cost quite a bit more than iPhone apps, you may as well avoid wasting your hard-earned money and invest in apps that you will actually use.
