Vote for Tempe Criminal Defense in the 2011 ABA Journal Blawg 100
I did. My decision would have been harder if some other truly excellent criminal justice blawgs weren’t conspicuously missing from the list, like Jeff Gamso’s, Norm Pattis’, and John Regan’s.
I hope Matt Brown, the author of Tempe Criminal Defense, will in honor of the occasion of being nominated to the ABA’s beauty pageant take the opportunity to clean up some of the broken links in his Blogroll (if not remove a couple of the less respectable ones).
I’m worried about my blog lately. I don’t think the writing has been very good. But I’m glad you like it. I probably fret too much.
Check out that Appellatesquawk site. Hilarious.
1Your post today was excellent. In fact, your last few posts have been excellent. In fact, pretty much all of your posts have been excellent. And I’m not just saying that because I consider you a kindred spirit. Me, I mainly philosophize about the law because I don’t have a wealth of experience practicing law to draw upon. I feel particularly unlucky, in that I’ve had two really big cases in my career, each of which by itself was a soul-crushing defeat sufficient to end a career. Each revealed the system I’m nominally a part of to be an evil-intentioned farce.
I was surprised to realize Greenfield has never won the Criminal Justice category in the ABA’s beauty pageant. I just assumed he’d won a couple times early on and that since then voters have wanted to give other blogs a chance. As much as I disagree with him, and as much as I resent the fact he’s banned me twice, and as often as he gets a wild hair up his ass and tries to dish out ass-whuppins to people who don’t deserve it, I think you’re obviously right that he gives a shit.
2Thanks for the endorsement…and for the heads-up about my blogroll. Wow. I don’t know if I could have butchered that many URLs so badly if I was doing it intentionally.
