Blawg Directory: Legal Ethics

Legal Profession Blog
Covers a variety of general interest legal topics and is especially focused on ethics, professional responsibility and the practice of law.
What About Clients?
"What About Clients? is a weblog which contains my personal ideas and thoughts on servicing business clients as valued customers in American law firms. I started it in 2005 because I think that 1) the level of service at even the best American law firms is often inattentive and erratic—and that troubles me—and 2) even where service is sound, it can be a lot better."

"A legal ethics and litigation blog."
Legally UnBound
"Provides legal news, comment and opinion …we unbind the law, we analyze legal developments and changes, we discuss why justice is not blind, we question legal unfairness, we point out the lack of common sense in many legal decisions and legal thought and we challenge those that think so highly of themselves using position, power and the law as a cover for their bias, their ambition and their self aggrandizement. I’ve had my fair share of utopian ideals (ethics and justice) shattered by the realities of judges, justices, attorneys and clients. Somewhere along the line, it is my opinion, that ethics took a back seat to self-promotion for a lot of people out there. Ironically, many of the highly educated and acclaimed legal minds are the central offenders. With compromised ethics and a lack of attention to truth and equity, I seek to expose what I know, opine what I suspect and implore you to lend a hand. I'll discuss and analyze all kinds of legal issues on various topics ... with a real central focus on corrupt practices and compromised ethics."
