Real Lawyers Have Blogs On the topic of the law, firm marketing, social media, & baseball

General counsel uses blog to comment on pending litigation

Mark Chandler, Cisco’s SVP and General Counsel, is making wise use of Cisco’s blog to respond to questions regarding Cisco’s suit with Apple over Cisco’s iPhone trademark. Chandler responds in a down to earth transparent fashion that’s likely to influence bloggers, mass media, and the financial community who are covering the suit.

Robert Scoble says he’s never seen blogging like this. Neither have I.

What takes me back is Scoble picking up on this unique use of a lawyer’s blog while the legal blogosphere has been silent on Chandler’s use of a blog. Are lawyers too busy blogging back and forth between themselves to appreciate the impact blogs can have when used to comment on pending litigation?

    Kevin, I think both the Wired GC and Bill Gratsch have mentioned it… though maybe not explicitly pointed out how unique it is.

    I stand corrected (knew if I said I had not seen any discussion, it would come back to bite me). I see Wired GC, Bill Gratsch, and now, Carolyn Elefant discussing Mark Chandler’s use of the Cisco Blog.

    I think that attorneys are excited about this venue of communication. They are so in my opinion not up with the times reagrding teh information highway and blogging is new and exciting for them.
