Legal Marketing & PR

October in Review

By Timothy Stanley

If you’re a regular reader of this blog or follow Justia on Facebook or Twitter, you may have noticed that in October we really picked up the pace on the Justia Law, Technology & Legal Marketing Blog. In the past, we used the blog to make announcements, cheer on fellow free law advocates, and occasionally talk about legal issues. This month, with a concerted effort and lots of whining about deadlines [me], we have been blogging daily, and covering a pretty wide range of issues and ideas. We’ve reviewed apps, movies, and judicial decisions. We’ve gone from Dora to DADT. We even got shout-outs from the Library of Congress and the ABA Journal.

However, if you are just visiting our blog, you are missing out on half of the experience. You should visit our page on Facebook to join in the conversation with our community of fans. We have really enjoy reading all the comments contributed by people from across the country about our nation’s current legal issues. Living and working in Northern California can sometimes feel like an echo chamber, so it’s been really interesting for me to hear such a broad spectrum of opinions on Facebook. I encourage you all to “fan” us and tune in for the discussions.

So to sum it up, I thought I’d do a round up of the most viewed/liked/commented posts and stories from the month of October. Congratulations to everyone on the team–especially Ken Chan, our Editor [Ken: you hate these brackets, don't you?]. And, as we say, Onward!
