Blog template

A good lawyer blog template varies. It all depends on what works best for the lawyer’s marketing efforts and what the lawyer feels the most comfortable with. The great thing about a blog is that a blog allows the categories, or sections of the blog, to be modified easily without any knowledge of computer coding.

I suggest a template that covers the following:

• Law summary (easy to read overview on area of law in which lawyer ‘specializes’)
  • Substantive law on topic
  • Procedures
  • FAQ’s
• Legal updates (statutory, regulatory & case law updates on area of law)
• News stories (concerning area of law from various media sources: newspapers, magazines, bar & trade journals, newsletters, & blogs)
• Commentarty & insight (lawyer’s comment on law & news with suggested action, if any)
• The lawyer
  • Background info
  • Successes
  • Testimonials
  • Self Interview to personalize & demonstrate pride in profession
• Current lawyer activities
  • Cases
  • Speaking
  • Writing
  • Civic activity
  • Pro bono
• The law firm
  • History
  • Areas of practice
  • Industries/people represented
  • Testimonials
  • Successes
  • News
