We're just about at the tipping point for lawyer-bloggers. I'm starting to get a sense that if we have a legal question that's appropriate to ask in public, it's likely one of the lawyers will answer it, at weblog-speed, which is fast. They also write well. Here's a good example. "The Bronx is where I spent a great deal of the formative years in my professional life; it is a place apart in a lot of ways, a little banana republic in New York City." Hey I grew up in the Bronx too. It is like a banana republic, but I've never been to the courthouse. He tells a good story. I feel a kinship for the kind of lawyer who writes in public. Maybe this is a mistake? ";->" [Scripting News]

This is a very goood sign, as I think that the Law is an area that could benefit greatly from having blogs. Given the low cost of most blogging software, this is another market that could take off... What if a State Bar association decided to do womthing akinto that Salon just did, offering blogs for members?
