In addition to the great reasons you listed, and the many others you could add, one additional reason to blog is that it allows each blogger to improve the image of the legal profession. In many ways, lawyer-bloggers are giving away free legal advice. What better way to make the public feel better about lawyers than to see them giving away what they otherwise charge for dearly?

You mean I'm not the only one who feels that way about blogs improving the image of the profession Francis? Better watch out you don't talk openly around the halls of your firm - they may think you're going soft. ;)

Seriously, if you read the reason why I do LexBlog, you'll see that improving the image of our profession, among other things, is what drives me.

I do it because it's fun and because there are never enough people listening to me talk.
