Nominations for Blawg 100 open through Aug. 8

Dear law blogger:

We're starting to consider which law blogs will make our 8th Annual 
Blawg 100, and we'd like your advice on which law blogs you think we 
should include.

Go to this link <http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/blawg100_submit/> to 
tell us about a blog---not your own---that you read regularly and think 
other lawyers should know about. Send us a separate nomination for each 
blog you want us to consider. We may include some of the best comments 
in our Blawg 100 coverage. But keep your remarks concise---you have a 
500-character limit.

Friend-of-the-blawg briefs are due no later than 5 p.m. ET on Friday, 
Aug. 8, 2014.

*About Blawg 100 Amici*

Bloggers, by all means tell your readers about Blawg 100 Amici and 
invite them to send us messages on behalf of your blog.

But please know that we frown on amici from:

- Bloggers who nominate their own blogs or nominate blogs to which they 
have previously contributed posts.

- Public relations professionals in the employ of lawyers or law firms 
who nominate their clients' blogs.

There is no specific criteria that a blogger can meet to be guaranteed a 
spot on the Blawg 100. And we think our list would suffer if there were. 
A blog's whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, and a blog that 
never fails to post that daily update, has a beautiful design and an 
unwavering topical focus can very often have less of an impact than 
another blog that is less consistent on all fronts.

That said, please keep these criteria in mind when submitting Blawg 100 
amici:

- We're primarily interested in blogs in which the author is 
recognizable as someone working in a legal field or studying law in the 
vast majority of his or her posts.

- The blog should offer insights into the practice of law and be of 
interest to legal professionals or law students.

- The majority of the blog's content should be unique to the blog and 
not cross-posted or cut and pasted from other publications. The blog's 
content should not be ghostwritten.

- We are not interested in blogs that more or less exist to promote the 
author's products and services.

Submit nominations and read more details about submitting a Blawg Amici, 
or friend-of-the-blawg brief, here:
