I’m late in the game with respect to commenting on the changes which are being undertaken over at the Legal Underground.
Obviously, I am dismayed that Evan felt these changes were necessary to avoid problems in the perception (certainly not the reality) of what blogging means to a practicing attorney. However, I’m not convinced changing the blog is the right solution. It seems to me to be treating the symptom, not the disease. The real treatment should be educating clients and law partners about what blogging is and what it isn’t. For example, the recent exchanges at Between Lawyers.
But it’s Evan’s decision to do what is best for his circumstances; I wish him well no matter what shape the blog takes. I have no doubt he will find ways to keep the content fresh and interesting, and I will remain a frequent reader. Although, the law student roundup will be sorely missed.
