Using Collaborative Content Development Highlights Lawyers Expertise
Last month, one of my favorite commentators in the legal content space, Kevin O'Keefe, posted some musings on LinkedIn about the place of legal blogging in the legal publishing pantheon. O'Keefe, the founder of LexBlog and writer of the blog "Real Lawyers Have Blogs," is a big proponent of legal blogs — as am I. In the post, he asked whether legal blogging should be considered part of legal publishing and concluded that it should: "Legal blogs are not the same as the mediums used for legal publishing in days past, but blogs may represent legal publishing — or at least a part of legal publishing today. Technology, the internet — and soon AI — may redefine what we call legal publishing." (You can read his LinkedIn post here.)
I couldn't agree more with his conclusion that blogs had become authoritative sources for legal content, allowing lawyers to showcase their expertise and provide legal insights in an accessible format.
