One vehicle of information vs thousands with personal pages.
OPINION: what more of a common thread does one need in addressing this (Legal) vertical market. The highlight of one’s effort within this sector is being published. Having the creditials of a vehicle respected by its peers.
With the advent of blogs “approval” by your peers is irrelavent. Opposing opinions to any argument now has no safe guards. Anyone can be heard, even if you don’t agree with the stance taken. Mr Kennedy leans to apply one source may be better than others, his of course. Which he is intitled too believe, unless this is the premise to an underlining campaign.
The failure I see in all of this is the inability to take and address these issues “Outside” the closed doors of the Legal community. To market your ideas or business practice with out reaching new subscribers is narrow thinking. Lawyers selling to Lawyers. We all can see that path has no future and bears the current reflection to the state of most firms today. Where are your new customers coming from? Referrals are great but if that is your only vehicle your forecasts of business growth has to be tanted.
Web sites have the problem of being Institutional. Straight forward, bland cut and paste nothing Pro-Active. Granted I agree most clients don’t consider contacting you until after the &^() hits the fan and generally like most businesses you will get the flood of shoppers looking for price vs any quality work. Believe me, we both have that in common. But a blog is no different than an electronic Newsletter. Less the effort of printing and mailing to your customer list. This is the vehicle you should be using too express your character and professional support new clients seek. The added advantage is instant feedback. Pro-Active action grabs the attention of forward thinking clients, trust me they are the best ones too have.
Legal sector with relation too blogs is really no different than most vertical sectors of professionals they tend to “stay within themselfs”. When one takes advantage of the true beauty of this and reachs outside too the market place, than one can evaluate the results properly. Acknowledgment from your peers or new paying customers? I can only speak for myself in this, CASH has more value than your Opinion of me.

To hear Dennis Kennedy talk about them, law-related Blogs (a/k/a Blawgs) aren’t just the next big thing, they’re the biggest thing out there now. Check out his comments here.

The Indefatigable Sabrina Pacifici (Dennis M. Kennedy)
We at Between Lawyers are fans of Sabrina Pacifici (BeSpacific.com; LLRX.com) and we are not the only ones. The new article on Sabrina in the Library Journal shows why she is one the most-respected of all law-related bloggers and one of the most-repected law librarians in the world. Congratulations to Sabrina on the well-deserved recognition.
Sabrina will be speaking with Tom Mighell of Betwen Lawyers in a session called “Advanced Searching: Beyond Google and Yahoo!” at the ABA TECHSHOW on April 21.

Every now and then a new package comes along that actually is designed for attorneys, is even used in some cases with success. And to top that has a 30-Day trial download.SmartDraw is such a product. If you know how to use a mouse, you know how to use SmartDraw! SmartDraw’s revolutionary “drag-and-drop drawing” gives you a point-and-click way to use more than 50,000 symbols and nearly 1,000 templates. No design experience or even artistic ability is needed to get professional results in minutes.Law Office Computing: ” A treasue trove of techniques”.TechnoReview: weekly newsletter from Technolawyer gave it a 4.8 rating out of 5.
Hopefully in the coming months SmartDraw can announce an agreement with the Federal Court system, being the “preferred” package for graphic presentations.David Wallace, Business Development Manager, SmartDraw is warm to the idea of licenses sold to an association vs say one large firm. Download it, you tell me. If its worth your time and effort, beating up a vendor is easy for me…John FeeneyEz Duplication
