What I've Been Doing Lately

By D. Todd Smith

Well, we know what I've not been doing much of lately—blogging.

Since my last entry, I have helped with a jury trial here in Travis County, immersed myself in a complex adversary proceeding in bankruptcy court that's set for a two-week trial later this month, done some things to get ready for the official opening of Solo Practice University, prepared for an Inn of Court CLE presentation, and signed up a couple of new appeals.

Ironically, blogging has brought attention even without doing it, as I recently taught a teleseminar at Legal Research and Writing Pro entitled "How to Market an Appellate or Contract Lawyering Practice Using Blogging and Social Media" and gave an interview for a LexBlog Q&A post.

Meanwhile, I've missed commenting on three sets of Texas Supreme Court orders (2/13/09, 2/20/09, and 2/27/09, with opinion summaries here and here) and some other noteworthy developments.  As I said in the LexBlog interview, I enjoy blogging for the sake of blogging, aside from the other reasons I do it.  I hope to be back to a more regular schedule soon.
