Memo’s & emails about law firm blog policies?

August 13, 2007

Per Craig Silverman of Toronto’s Globe and Mail, it’s no surprise that an e-mail containing draft corporate guidelines for how Canadian Broadcast Company employees should conduct themselves on personal blogs found its way to the Inside the CBC blog. The post referencing supervisor approval for all blogs generated nearly 100 comments, apparently most of which decried the new corporate policy.

There have to be law firm emails flying around about law firms establishing guidelines for what’s suitable for publication on individual lawyer and staff member blogs. I know blog policies are developed for blogs published as part of a law firm’s marketing efforts. But what about individual blogs, whether they be published on legal topics or be personal in nature?

I’m surprised David Lat at Above the Law hasn’t discovered and published any emails from law firm management trying to clamp down on blogs. How about asking for some David?
