Web logs or blogs or blawgs; whichever way you spell it, blogs can help keep up to date in many areas of law and technology. The most well-known legal blogger is Denise Howell, a litigation and IP attorney in California, who coined the term "blawg," (a legal web log). Her blog is called Bag and Baggage (http://bgbg.blogspot.com). Other attorneys have left their traditional law firm jobs due to their blogging expertise and have started their own companies.
