DC Bar Blogging Event – January 23, 2007
I’m a member of the DC Bar’s Law Practice Management Steering Committee and on January 23, 2007, we’re sponsoring an event on blogging. We have a blue ribbon panel, with top bloggers (listed below). Usually, these seminars cost upwards of $100 or more, but the DC Bar is making this available for $35. Come hear about lawyers who are using the web to build their practice – and more important, how you can too. You can register at the DC Bar Website, www.dcbar.org.
Blogging for Lawyers: How Practicing Lawyers Are Using Blogs to Find Clients, Fortune and Fame and How You Can Too!
January 23, 2007 Tuesday
12:00 pm-2:00 pm
- Description
-
Blogs are one of the best kept marketing secrets of the legal
profession. What most lawyers don’t realize is that blogs are helping
practicing lawyers find clients, make money and establish a name for
themselves in the legal community. Blogging is not a gimmick; you will
hear from the lawyers on our panel how blogs have helped to build their
practice or reinforce their reputation. Our panelists will tell you how
they started blogging, share their wild success and give you tips on
how to get started. And even if you don’t start your own blog, we’ll
direct you to some of the top blogs that you can read to build your
practice and serve your clients. - Sponsor

This week, the Connecticut Law Tribune is running my article entitled, “Blogging Advice for the Blog-Challenged.” In it I list MyShingle as an excellent example of a blog. I will be posting the article on my blog within the next two weeks.
I’m on the west coast, so I won’t be able to attend unfornuately. Sounds great though.
You might want to check out these sites to read about how I have been able to use blogs creatively in my own law practice –
