Thanks Ed

As Charon has picked up, Colin Samuels and Diane Levin, law bloggers and ‘sherpas’ to the ever so anonymous editor of Blawg Review have asked for recognition of the editor’s achievement in building and sustaining the review.

As someone who has been the recipient of the editor’s tender ministrations (and the bountiful assistance of the sherpas), I’m happy to give a hear hear to the praise to the Ed.

Also congratulations to Colin Samuels for getting the Blawg Review of 2007 award. Hey, I voted for him.… Read the full post

Not the only housing blog in the village

Oh frabjious day. After many months ploughing a lonely furrow as the internet`s finest but only housing law blog, I am delighted to welcome another into the world. William Flack of Flack & co, who both comments on and features in posts hereabouts, has begun his own blog. I will be reading with enthusiasm. But William, nobody else can add comments at the moment…

[Edit. No disrespect intended to Tessa at Landlord Law, but, as the title suggests,  she focuses on Landlord & Tenant rather than broader housing law issues.]… Read the full post

To end the year – a meme


Thanks to Lex Scholasticus at Reductio ad Absurdum, I have been tagged with another blog meme thing. In a surprising bout of pre-new year generosity, I will both respond and entirely fail to tag anyone else.

I am called upon to list 8 things I want to happen in 2008. Only 8? I’ll try to keep them vaguely legally related, apart from the first, which is of pressing personal need, and the last, which is too much to hope for.

1. Cure the damn common cold. OK, I understand the nature of fast mutating viruses and why this is difficult. So couldn’t someone just come up with a symptom … Read the full post

Blawg Review Nominations

This year’s Blawg Review awards are apparently to be awarded to one Blawg on the basis of nominations from solely those who have hosted or are shortly to host a Blawg Review.

Having closely followed the instructions of the anonymous Ed of Blawg Review, Nearly Legal’s nominations are based on marks for elegance and commitment, with bonus points for being based some distance to the east of most of the Blawg Reviewers.

And the nominations are, in no particular order:

Corporate Law UK for Review #116

Public Defender Stuff for Review #91

Lex Ferenda for Review #128

and Infamy or Praise for Review #137

To date, nobody has nominated … Read the full post

amicitia reverto (sic)

So, Belle de Jure and Lawyer-2-be, although apparently tired of being respectively scandalously homophonic and hyphenated, are back. I somehow thought it was only a matter of time before one or both broke cover.

Now conjoined, although thankfully not declined, and newly latinate, their fresh venture, Reductio ad Absurdum, should be a blog for lawyers with a hinterland, always assuming there be such a thing.

For myself, I have no Latin, or indeed Classical Greek, the lack of which makes me neither proud nor ashamed. I could once, however, play the oboe and explain hermeneutics. Preferably not at the same time.… Read the full post

World famous round these parts

Nearly Legal has a comment piece in the Solicitors Journal. (No subscription needed for the next week). Fame, yes, fame at last. In an anonymous sort of way.… Read the full post

Oh what a tangled web…

[Edit. This was originally posted on Friday evening 16/11/07. Not that I'm getting all conspiratorial but it disappeared in the great site downtime and server change... There was also originally an image, which has vanished from the server and apparently was deleted (by me) on my home machine. So, albeit imageless, I defy the internet gods and post this again]

While Musharraf tries to overcome the rule of law by imprisoning all the lawyers and the Lord Chief Justice pleads, probably in vain, for a genuine discussion of prison policy, Nearly Legal’s scarce free moments today have been largely consumed by the ramifications of the posturing of a small … Read the full post
