Legal Blogging Group at LinkedIn closing in on 500 members

We’re closing in on 500 members in the Legal Blogging Group I started at LinkedIn 5 or 6 weeks ago. Amazing how word of mouth spreads across the legal community via LinkedIn.

Folks from all over the world. Lawyers in private practice and in-house counsel as well as IT, knowledge management, marketing, and management professionals in law firms. Plus quite a few folks working in companies tangental to the law. Attracting active bloggers as well people who appear to have an interest in blogging.

My goal is to create a place where those in the legal industry can learn about blogging in a collaborative fashion as well as be able to connect with each other. I also anticipate some effective networking may come from it as well.

I am working to find out from the folks at LinkedIn how to better leverage the group for collaborative efforts. If nothing else, I’ve started a Google Group on Legal Blogging which we could jump start with a listserv discussion.

Click here to join the group. I’ll receive and approve your request.

Please continue to spread the word on your blog, in listservs, and the like.
