ABAJournal.Com Needs Your Help

By David Badertscher, PLL

The ABA Journal has been nominated for the Internet's most prestigious honor. And we need your help to win.

ABAJournal.com is one of five nominees for a Webby Award in the Law category. Described by the New York Times as the "Oscars of the Internet," the Webby Awards are judged by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, and received almost 10,000 entries this year. ABAJournal.com features a legal newswire updated with 25 to 50 fresh stories throughout every business day, a directory of more than 1,800 blogs written by lawyers, and archives of the magazine stretching back to 2004.

In each category, the Webby Awards also give a People's Voice Award to the site with the most online votes from the public. That's where you come in. We're asking you to do two things:

First, visit http://pv.webbyawards.com before May 1 to register then vote for the ABA Journal in the Law category. Voting takes less than five minutes. Each person can vote only once.

Second, forward this e-mail to your colleagues and friends, and encourage them to vote for the Journal.

With your help, the website of the nation's most-read and most-respected legal affairs magazine can bring home the hardware. Winners will be announced May 6, and we'll report the results on ABAJournal.com.
