New blogs joining The LexBlog Network for the week of 1/3-1/7

For the first full week of 2011, we have five new publications joining The LexBlog Network and, I have to say, it’s a great mix. We have lawyers and law firms who are adding to their blogging portfolio while others are just getting started, and doing a great job as they get rolling.

• “Niches lead to riches” is the mantra often heard when it comes to the practice of law and legal blogging. Robert Zierman of Justice Smiles, PLLC is off to an excellent start towards owning his niche with the launch of the Boundary Dispute Law Blog.
