Lawdable
"Lawdable is a forum for in-house and managing attorneys to discover and share information related to the issues they face on a daily basis. Through a 'best practices' approach, the blog provides commentary from experts in a wide range of areas, citing specific client examples of progressive and innovative (or 'laudable') initiatives that have helped legal departments become more efficient and economical without sacrificing quality. More specifically, it focuses on national issues and general commentary on the use of attorneys in a nontraditional manner, issues affecting legal departments on a daily basis and how both new and tested approaches can offer solutions, litigation support and e-discovery, best practices regarding technology implementation and efficiency training methods for teams of attorneys, and the work-life balance sought by attorneys."

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."

The Probate Lawyer Family Feud Blog
"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."
