Legal blogs and malpractice insurance carriers : Any updates

I‘m one of the guests this Thursday on Denise Howell’s ‘this WEEK in LAW.’ One of the issues we’ll be discussing is blogging and malpractice carriers.

You may recall the fiasco when Chubb Insurance indicated they were not going to provide coverage for firms publishing law blogs. They were heavily criticized by lawyers across the country.

Chubb eventually went away with it’s tail between its legs saying they wouldn’t cover firms offering specific advice to specific fact situations – something no law firm does on a blog – but would, in general, cover law firms who were blogging.

Is anyone aware of any issues that have arisen with malpractice carriers covering firms that blog? Have any of you discussed the issue with your carrier? Have any of you procured coverage that applies specifically to blogs, perhaps described as publishing or advertising coverage in general liability business insurance.

Any info, thoughts, or insight would be appreciated.
