Julie Fleming Brown of Life at the Bar and I had an idea last month for a way to close out the year with a flurry of appreciation in the legal blogosphere. We hope many of you will join us. Here's how it works. We each will start out by sending an e-mail to three bloggers asking them to write a post to their blog beginning with these words: "Lawyers Appreciate . . ." That's the only rule; start a post with those words. And the second half of participation is to pass the LA (Lawyer's Appreciate . . .) baton on to three more bloggers. The countdown will last for 10 days, until the last day of the year. Today is the beginning of the appreciation storm. We look forward to reading what you post when the baton arrives at your inbox.
Can you hear it now? LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, Law, Law, Law!
Note (added December 22, 4:55 PM Mountain): Julie Fleming Brown also has now announced Lawyers Appreciate… A 10-day countdown.
Stephanie West Allen, the voice behind Idealawg and TrackKnacks, and I have been corresponding for some months now. One of the many topics we’ve discussed is our shared desire to launch an appreciative look at the law, lawyers, and practice in the legal blogosphere. And that’s how the “Lawyers Appreciate…” countdown was born.
Note (added December 23, 9:55 AM Mountain): Links to "Lawyers Appreciate . . ." posts.
Stephanie and Julie,
This is a great idea and I don't mean to constrain anyone's creativity; but perhaps you could clarify a little. Do you want us to post what we appreciate ourselves (assuming we are lawyers) or what we think lawyers in general appreciate? I think it is easier for most to us to speak from our own point of view rather than trying to describe how others might feel. Another post with a teeny bit more guidance might help. (Sorry to be so lawyerly about this :) )
