As reported by Denise Howell, of Crosby, Heafey, Roach & May in Los Angeles, in an October 2002 Law Technology New Article, Attorneys can benefit from Weblogs in many ways. Here are a few that Ms. Howell highlights:
1 – Reading the blogs can replace or augment daily newspaper consumption. Reading a blog which concentrates on a specific topic may increase your proficiency in your field.
2 – The blogs help an attorney learn from others by sharing thoughts, analysis and commentary on specific legal issues.
3 – Firms can use blogs to help streamline information. Weblogs can help centralize critical information, keep the information up to date and keep all members of the firm “…connected and in the loop on important case or firm management issues.”
