Contest: Tell Me Your Favorite Legal Website or Blog
November 12th, 2007
Do lawyers make better bloggers? I doubt it. But there are certainly hundreds (thousands?) of legal blogs and websites on the Internet. For reasons that will become plain below, Newdorf Legal announces its first contest: Tell me your favorite law-related website or blog. To enter, respond to this article with a Comment/Reply below and a few words about your favorite site. By entering, you will become eligible to win a $25 Starbucks Gift Card.
Why this contest? The list of legal websites on my browser’s “Favorites” tab is short. It includes reference sites, such as the California State Bar attorney search page (for finding lawyers and their background information), FindLaw, the federal court PACER electronic docket website (account required), the San Francisco Superior Court docket website (free), and Westlaw (account required).
One blog I go to regularly is Legal Pad, the blog of The Recorder, the San Francisco-based daily legal newspaper, which I subscribe to in paper form.
For general news, I go to SFGate.com (published by the San Francisco Chronicle). I also have the Chronicle delivered to my doorstep at home every morning.
As you can see, Newdorf Legal is a neophyte (with certain Luddite tendencies) in the online world. Hence, Newdorf Legal’s first contest is aimed at broadening my browsing horizons. The rules of the contest are:
- To enter, post a Reply/Comment to this article with the name and URL of the website and a sentence or two about what you like about the site.
- The site must be law-related.
- You can submit your own site or blog — but tell us if it is your site.
- Multiple Replies/Comments are allowed, but do not increase your chance of winning.
A winner will be chosen by Newdorf Legal on (or around) November 30, 2007 and announced on this site. Good luck!
Fine Print: There will be no more than one winner. The winner will be selected at the complete and sole discretion of Newdorf Legal based on the Newdorf Legal’s favorite entry. The decision of Newdorf Legal is final and non-appealable. Newdorf Legal retains the right to modify the rules stated above and in the Fine Print as it deems necessary. Newdorf Legal retains the right to remove any Reply/Comment, or not post any Reply/Comment, that it deems inappropriate in its complete and sole discretion. By entering this contest or submitting a Reply/Comment, you agree to be bound by the Rules and the Fine Print.
