Best in Law Blogs : LexBlog Network : August 12, 2010

Whenever I conduct blog review calls with attorneys, a time when we give some editorial feedback on content, there are a few points I always stress. One of those main points: tell the readers something they don’t know. Every single one of our attorneys is an expert on the subject they cover and that should come across in their posts. Don’t tell the reader you’re an expert, show them. In the best example of demonstrating that unique expertise I saw today, Mike Danko has some insightful comments on the tragic plane crash that killed Senator Ted Stevens and three others.
