Law Department Management Blog
On her blog, At The Intersection, Pamela H. Woldow writes about such topics as general counsel, legal project management, alternative fee arrangements and what she perceives to be the rising tide of change. A former in-house lawyer turned consultant, Woldow addresses topics of interest both to law firms and law departments, hence the name at the intersection.
To keep up with this micro-niche of the blawgosphere, here are 19 blogs that current or former in-house lawyers publish.

One observation from this veteran of blogging on law department management deserves re-statement. Blogging is like dieting. It is easy to make resolutions and plan and talk and design, but it is difficult to stick to it and write worthwhile non-duplicative posts regularly. It is easier to give links to others’ posts; much harder to write useful material from scratch without duplication.
