The Client Revolution
"The way American businesses get legal help is broken. Law firms focus on billing hours instead of fixing problems. They talk about how experienced they are, and that they’ve opened an office in Prague. But they never talk about helping you save money. Now clients are standing up and demanding value from their lawyers, instead of just hours. If your company deals with lawyers, or if you are one yourself, this blog is for you."

"Every week—and often every day—interesting celebrity and other true-case stories in the fields of estate planning and probate hit the media. Sometimes, they are in every newspaper around the country. Other times, they take a little more digging to uncover. I provide the most up-to-date and interesting probate and estate planning-related cases to entertain and educate."

Law Shucks
"The site includes a Layoff Tracker that graphs where the most layoffs have been. Law Shucks is yet another legal tabloid, but we’re committed to keeping our focus on those who are in, or refugees from, BigLaw. Nothing about summer-associate salaries, bar-review courses, or which firm a law student should pick. We editors and our intended audience have been through that and just don’t care about it any more. Still, a good bit of gossip every once in a while keeps things entertaining."
