As if Rich Baer, Qwest’s energetic and outspoken General Counsel, were not busy enough, he has seized the keyboard and joined the fray as a blogger. Please welcome Baer to blogdom and take a look at his Reliance on Counsel. I like the first several posts, especially his self-effacing observations…
One aggregated post (what I call a metapost) and two individual posts since its appearance have noted and welcomed blogs by in-house counsel (See my post of Feb. 17, 2011: lists 11 blogs by in-house lawyers; March 1, 2011: Melanie Hatton blog; and March 3, 2011: Mr. Bizzle blawg.). A…
This newest find is cloaked in secrecy, since Mr. Bizzle blogs under cover of darkness. Why? “I blog anonymously because I feel less self-conscious that way. I haven’t covered my tracks that well, so I try to avoid controversy.” What is it with this penchant for secrecy among in-house bloggers?…
When I came across In-House Lawyer, I noticed Melanie Hatton’s credentials. She is the top lawyer for the UK company Latitude, an online digital marketing company. She started blogging in mid-2009 and has put up 49 posts since then. In Melanie’s words, “I post about legal and business issues that…

My approach for the newsletter is to start with what RSS readers of my blog chose most frequently to view. Feedburner identified the ten posts published during January that had the most views and clicks. My newsletter reprints those top ten posts in declining order and adds two more comments…
When Tim Bratton, the general counsel of the prestigious Financial Times, casts his pen into the ring of blogging, it is good to take note and doff the hat. Even if Bratton disagrees with my earlier “tossed off” post about DLA Piper and its minimum fees requirement, I am delighted…
Perry Cone, the former general counsel of Citizen’s Insurance and now with GrayRobinson, has inaugurated his blog on leadership and coaching for in-house lawyers. He draws on his experience managing in-house teams as well as his wide-ranging reading. The blog looks very good and already has quite a stock of…
Another in my series of thanks and gratitude (See my post of Nov. 15, 2009: history of this series; Jan. 4, 2010: seventh set; and May 28, 2010: eighth set.). I very much appreciate all those who let their readers know about my blog. aphelionlegal.com/blog/ (Aaron Lawlor) attorneyatwork.com/ (Merrilyn Aston…
