In search of lawyer commentary during f\/k\/a<\/em>‘s punditry hiatus? Jamie Spencer is hosting Blawg Review<\/em> #117<\/a> at his Austin Criminal Defense Blog<\/em><\/a>, where he spotlights the best recent work at law-related weblogs. Jamie has built this week’s Blawg Review<\/em> around a unique and instructive theme. As he explains:<\/p>\n

“I decided to use the six amendments from the Bill of Rights that most apply to criminal defense, highlight a historic Supreme Court criminal case, and use the text of the Amendment itself as the springboard for this week\u2019s featured posts.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Checking out the list of featured posts, I discovered JD Hull’s discussion of whether you have to like a client to do a good job<\/a>. I also learned that J. Craig Williams is worried that they’re running out of lawyers<\/a> in California. Clearly, Craig has not seen my recent article at The Complete Lawyer<\/em>, No Senior Discount at the Ethics Bar<\/a>, which Tim Kevan graciously included in the Weekly Review at The Barrister’s Blog<\/em><\/a> (July 16, 2007), which is my favorite shortlist of the best-‘o-the-blawgs.<\/p>\n

Tim has also pointed to BabyBarista<\/em>‘s Interview Tips for law students (which supplement the more conventional suggestions published earlier this month at TimesOnLine<\/em><\/a>), and reminds us that wigs and gowns will be abolished<\/a> next year in the United Kingdom’s family and civil courts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

p.s.<\/strong> Over at LegalBlogWatch<\/em>, today, Robert Ambrogi asks Who Was the First Legal Blogger?<\/a> Bob did some archive-diving and found the start-up dates for some venerable sites (including Bag’n’Baggage<\/a><\/em> and Ernie the Attorney<\/em><\/a>). He concludes that Walter Olson’s Overlawyered.com<\/a><\/em> was the first law-related weblog, which was launched on July 1, 1999<\/a>.<\/p>\n
