Ellen Barshevsky—The BLAWG
This blog was launched after the author was banned from posting regular comments on ABAJournal.com. Ellen notes that the blog is about her and she, exclaims in her signature use of random all caps, that, "I hope YOU enjoy it as MUCH as my BOYFRIEND."
Legally Brunette
"I write a lot about my beer-drinkin', poker-playin' mom "Philly" and my news-anchoring stepdad, "Ron Burgundy." They practically raised me. I also write about the rest of my family and friends, but I seldom use their real names, so no one gets incarcerated. I like making people laugh, but more importantly, I like people who make ME laugh. I blog because I care."
Solicitr

The Legal Tease blog spills the dirty details on the BigLaw life from inside one of BigLaw's biggest and baddest, and Sweet Hot Counsel fields your questions on how to get in, get by, and get out."
