Best in Law Blogs : The LexBlog Network : May 12, 2011

We’re checking in with the day’s best just a little bit earlier than normal as I’m off to catch a flight to Missoula, Montana—easily the best city in the country. In one of my favorites, Laura Gutierrez examines the subject of ghostwriting on a blog, something I’m strongly opposed to. Also, Richard Santalesa highlights the growing skepticism towards security in the cloud. Total posts on The LexBlog Network so far today: 138.
