The 2010 Canadian Blog Awards have been released.  The top law blogs this year were:

Law Blogs:

1st – LawDiva

2nd – Legal Frontiers

3rd – Wise Law Blog

This year the awards were hosted by Jonathan Kleiman of Porco Levy Zavet LLP, who gave a special shout-out to some lawyers:

My volunteer team dwindled quite heavily this year, and a lot of work fell on very few shoulders. I’d like to thank Omar Ha-Redeye and Garry Wise for their support and motivation through the awards. As lawyers, there are many ways we can donate our time to benefit an organization or community that is important to us, and the Canadian blogosphere is a worthy group.

  • What if Access to Justice Was Never Going to Lead to Poverty Alleviation? April 10, 2024
    I recently read that when legal aid was first developed in the United States in the 1960s, its primary goal was alleviation of poverty rather than access to counsel.
