New Web site: Law Is Fun

Excerpt from Law.com Legal Technology:

Fun Law Site Standing Out in Its Field
Attorney making enjoyable blogs, games and forums part of online legal community

Michael Fryar is launching a new Web site based on two revolutionary premises: the practice of law should actually be enjoyable, and lawyers by and large have great senses of humor.

The current state of the legal profession doesn't always lend itself to believing those two points, but Fryar's recent launch of Law Is Fun is aimed at spreading the word.

The profession is "shifting away from the idea of attorneys as accessible and friendly and more toward a corporate environment, jacket and tie and making sure you get your billable hours," said Fryar, a Hartford attorney who serves as the Connecticut Bar Association's program development specialist.

"Law is fun in the sense of enjoying what you're doing," he said. "This Web site is about getting back in touch with why you became an attorney."

The site purposefully strays from the typical, legal-related corporate Web sites both in design and content. It will serve as a community site for lawyers to share opinions and stories about a range of topics regarding life in the profession, rainmaking and tips on the restaurants that offer the best atmosphere for client development and meetings.

While my new legal blog "Is There a Lawyer in the Church?" is not exactly humorous, it is fairly upbeat and accessible. Please check it out! Right now it's mostly about my forthcoming book ("The Believer's Guide to Legal Issues") but I'm adding more helpful content for Christian lawyers and legal professionals, as well as law students and ordinary Christian believers facing common legal situations.
