Ellen Barshevsky—The BLAWG

Legal Antics
A legal humor site "because let's face it—lawyers take themselves far too seriously and the law is damn funny if you look at it through the right lens."
Legal Toast
"A legal cartoon blog about life as a senior associate at a large firm. It is also a hybrid of textual analysis, Chicago school of economics and chaos theory depicted in a graphic form. All people, places, situations and conversations depicted in legal toast are fictional, except for the tie. The tie is real. It means that he is a professional."
Legally Drawn
