When I was young I wanted to be a lawyer… The opportunity to make a name for myself fighting crimes at its roots, defending the defenseless and becoming the very avatar of cunning and justice – instead I ended up being a web developer and blogger. And that’s not even the course I took up in college! I wanted to be a lawyer so I took up an engineering course which brought me to where I am now: An Internet Addict.
All kidding aside, I recently saw a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Blog | California Criminal Attorneys Law Blog which is the embodiment of what I think a lawyer’s blog is and should be. The blog author is lawyer Dmitry Gorin, a Professor at UCLA and Pepperdine Law School, and provides frequent commentary on Court TV. He tackles normal everyday cases and the not so normal ones, including analysis of high profile case and celebrity prosecutions including Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. I actually spent an hour reading entries from his blog, something that I don’t usually do except on rare cases when my interest is really piqued.
