I am pleased to announce that Law.com asked iPhone J.D. to be an affiliate of the Law.com network. Law.com, as those of you who are lawyers already know, is a leading source of legal news and information. Law.com is affiliated with over 20 award-winning national and regional online legal publications including The American Lawyer, The National Law Journal, The New York Law Journal, Legal Times and Law Technology News. And if you are like me, you already receive in your e-mail every day the informative Law.com Daily Newswire with the latest in legal news and the Law Technology News Daily Alert with the latest legal tech news.
The Law.com Blog Network currently includes 35 great law-related blogs run by these fine folks. Just a few of my personal favorites include:
- The Common Scold — Monica Bay's blog about legal technology, law firm management, and more.
- FutureLawyer — This blog from Florida attorney Rick Georges is a great source of legal technology news.
- How Appealing — Pennsylvania lawyer Howar Bashman started the first blog on appellate litigation back in May of 2002, and the blog is still going strong.
- Legal Technology — good source for legal tech news
- Wired GC — a former general counsel, John Wallbillich, writes about the iPhone and Apple from time to time in his blog, including this recent post on the iPad.
The main reason I accepted Law.com's invitation was to try to drive more attention to this site from lawyers. I know from personal experience that once lawyers see what the iPhone can do for them, they quickly want one, so I'd like to have more lawyers learn about this site and others that cover the use of the iPhone by lawyers to perhaps increase the number of attorneys using iPhones. And with more attorneys using iPhones, hopefully we will see even more apps designed for attorneys.
Being an affiliate also means that there is now a Law.com newswire ticker on the right side of this blog, which is a place to glance to see the latest legal news. Below the news ticker is an ad provided by Law.com, and it will be a nice change to see ads that have something to do with the law on this website. I also have a Google ad on the right and an Amazon ad on the left. Hopefully you don't find all of the ads too distracting. As you probably know, ads on small websites like this provide only a tiny amount of revenue, but as the readership of iPhone J.D. has grown, the ads do now provide enough income to offset the monthly fee I pay to host this site and some of the other associated costs, which is nice.
Thanks to Law.com for reaching out to me, and if you are a new iPhone J.D. reader who came here via Law.com, welcome!
