An Honor To Be Nominated

Blawg Review was honored to be nominated by the ABA Journal editors as one of the Blawg 100, where our humble Blawg Review blog was unfortunately categorized under the heading "Generally Speaking" along with many of the most popular law blogs, including QuizLaw, Overlawyered, How Appealing, Point of Law, Ernie the Attorney, and May It Please the Court, each of which, incidentally, has hosted Blawg Review.

Amongst such heavy competition, Blawg Review placed respectably in the top ten, thanks to the person or persons who cast the 36 votes that enabled us to pull ahead of our closest rival in the final tally.

They say it's an honor just to be nominated. Nowhere is that more true than with the nominations for this year's Blawg Review of the Year. Hosts of Blawg Review have until January 14, 2008 to nominate law bloggers for the honor, and the issue of Blawg Review with the most qualified nominations wins!
