Top 10 funniest law blogs
UPDATED: The Billable Hour, which provides clever gifts and greeting cards for legal professionals, is now sponsoring this contest. The winner will actually win a prize! Woohoo!
The prize will be the winner's choice of any single item sold by The Billable Hour (luxury watch line and sets excluded).
**********
Acting on Carolyn Elefant's suggestion at Legal Blog Watch, I'm copying Jamie Spencer's idea over at the Austin Criminal Defense Law Blog and am seeking nominations from my readers for entry into the "Top 10 Funniest Law Blogs" contest. Each person can nominate blogs only one time. No duplicate nominations permitted, per favore.
I'll accept nominations until Wednesday June 19th, and will then create a poll listing the top 10 blogs submitted. I'll keep that poll open and accept votes for one week and will then announce the results of the voting shortly thereafter.
As Jamie did, I'll include links to all blogs submitted shortly after announcing the top 10 funniest blawgs. So, don't be shy about submitting your own blog.
You can either submit a blog by replying to this post or you can email me at the email address listed on my "About" page.
And, feel free to publicize this contest on your own blog. I'm looking forward to receiving the submissions!
I might consider nominating David Lat's site Above the Law (http://www.abovethelaw.com), if it were more focused on humor and less on spewing RNC talking points.

Although officially defunct, wings and vodka was one of the funniest blogs on the internet, period, much less about law (or law school, more specifically)

Lowering the bar is at the top.
Above the Law is at the bottom.

Above The Law!

Wait! My blog also has a tantalizing mix of humor, law and the RNC's talking points. I nominate Nasty, Brutish & Short!

I'm pretty sure two of the writers for this blog are lawyers. Does that count? If you're a Cubs fan, the fake news things are freaking hilarious. http://www.cubsbrickyard.com

The "Say What" weblog deserves a mention, in a "blog your grandmother would find funny too" sort of way.

http://www.philalawyer.net is the best by far. It crushed all others.

Personally, I thought they all sucked except:
http://www.philalawyer.net
that was some funny stuff!

Lowering the Bar
Posted by: Bryan Sims | June 14, 2007 at 04:21 PM
Abovethelaw.com wins,provided that, David Lat gives us more funny stuff--shuch as Judge Halverson and the $54 Million pants judge, sprinkled in with the $160K associate starting salary stuff--which now that I think about it is pretty funny too.....

Although "Legal Antics" has already been nominated via email, I'm officially nominating it now.
And, I highly encourage all of you to consider nominating it as well so that it will be in the top 10 and thus included in the poll next week.
Why? Because "Legal Antics" rocks, if you haven't yet noticed;)

Its a little tasteless, but http://www.philalawyer.net is by far the most bitting and insitefull of the law blogs out there. "The BLUFF" is possibly one of the most accurate pictures of commercial litigation desperation every written.

Quizlaw is by far the funniest law blog out there! www.quizlaw.com

Above the Law! Above the Law! Above the Law! Above the Law! Above the Law! Above the Law! Above the Law! Above the Law! Above the Law! Above the Law!

Definitely Above the Law, for its Judge halverson posts alone!
Posted by: anon | June 14, 2007 at 08:14 PM
Above the law, but only if David Lat agrees to bite the bullet, take one for the cause as it were, and give Judge Elizabeth Halverson what she obviously cannot get at home: A foot rub!
(You thought I was going to suggest something else, didn’t you? No man has a penis that long.)

Philalawyer ( http://www.philalawyer.net/ ) and Anonymous Lawyer ( http://www.anonymouslawyer.com ) are heads and shoulders above anything.
The AL book was great and if Philalawyer's book is anything like the website, it should be roaring funny.
