ABA seeks nominations for annual Web 100


You're obviously a connoisseur of fine legal blogging, or you wouldn't be here. Unless you got here by accident. Or you're a Russian hacker or provocateur. (You know, I don't like where this is heading....)

Anyway, the American Bar Association is once again soliciting nominations for what its Web 100 award. This used to be called the "Blawg 100," but the ABA broadened the title a few years back so it could include legal podcasts and law-based Twitter feeds and, this year, "all online legal forums—including apps, subscription services and other digital tools."

The ABA's explanation of what it wants to include in this year's Web 100 can be found at this link. No, I don't know what the ABA means by apps, subscription services or other digital tools. If you do, however, you can nominate one by filling out this form. You can even nominate a more traditional blog (*hint, hint*) The deadline for submissions is August 7 at 11:59 p.m.

To be on the safe side, don't start uploading your submission at 11:58 p.m. on the 7th. See, Peraino v. County of Winnebago, 2018 IL App (2d) 170368. (In comedy writing, this is called a "callback.")

The Web 100 winners will be published in the December issue of the ABA Journal. A complete list of legal blogs can be found at the ABA Blawg Directory. The ABA Blawg Hall of Fame can be found here. For What It's Worth may be found in only one of these....
