THE ILLINOIS BAR JOURNAL TAKES A LOOK AT LAW-RELATED WEBLOGS . . . Weblogs are on the cover of the Illinois Bar Journal's May issue in "Do We Blawg and How," by Helen W. Gunnarsson.

You'll find lots from law-related webloggers in Gunnarsson's article, including Judge Richard Posner, Denise Howell, Matt Homann, Dennis Kennedy, Cassandra Crotty, Steven Jakubowski, Peter Olson, Joel Schoenmeyer, Jeremy Richey, Ernest Svenson, Larry Ribstein, Linda Beale, Lawrence Solum, and me.

Gunnarsson's article is a great resource for any lawyer who's new to weblogs and is wondering what all the fuss is about. Highly recommended.

UPDATE: Oops, it appears that the link to the article, which works for me, only works because I'm a member of the Illinois Bar. I thought the article was generally available because I got to it without entering a password, but the site must have been reading a cookie. I'll do what I can to fix the situation.

UPDATE 4/30: The link should now be working. Thanks to the Illinois Bar for working on the problem over the weekend.

Too bad they didn't understand blogs enough to make their article available to members of the blogosphere.

Best I could tell, to get access to the article, you need to apply to become a member of the Illinois bar and wait 48 hours.

I received the most recent issue of the Journal friday, and was really interested by the cover story. I think it points out some interesting things about what the blogosphere can add to the practice, study, and comment of the legal porfession.
