Wednesday, February 26, 2003From Paul's Boutique: "Those who regularly read this blog and/or know me well have more than likely heard me complain about my long-time essay on blogging and employment law. . . . I have completed and posted my submitted-for-publication version of the essay. While it might be pretentious and unnecessarily legal and long, I think bloggers might find this worthwhile reading if they like their jobs." This is an extremely well-written and well-sourced article, entitled "Did You Just Say That?: Blogging and Employment Law in Conflict," by second-year Columbia Law student Paul Gutman. Interesting stuff. Among other things, he suggests that bloggers might need a disclaimer to protect themselves from adverse employment actions. It seems that some employers are taking issue with the content of their employees' personal blogs -- and sending out pink slips because of it.
