Legal Web Publishing Network
Strategically integrated with our profile building and law firm seo services, Stem is actively involved in developing projects that support the infrastructure of the legal web. We are always looking to develop quality content for the legal industry, and in the future will be using this network of websites to drive client awareness & promotion.
Stem is also open to publishing on behalf of our retainer clients, and partnering with other companies on new web properties. Please contact Steve Matthews to explore new & concepts.
Lawyers are 50% more likely than the general population to be affected by addiction, and fortunately, help is available from lawyer assistance programs (LAPs) across the continent. The Lawyer Addiction Blog was started in January 2009 with the goal of increasing awareness about substance abuse in the legal industry, and is sponsored by the Meadows Addiction Recovery Center.
On this site we aim to promote the help that’s available to those in need by highlighting these LAP groups, including their publications, functions and activities. If you are a volunteer or staff member who is interested in becoming involved in the Lawyer Addiction Blog, please contact us!
The Florida Lawyers Blog Watch is a one-page aggregation of the 50 most recent postings by blogging attorneys who reside in the State of Florida. The intended purpose of this site is create a watchable ‘stream’ of Florida lawyer commentary, and to provide a location where media and those in the legal industry can track the day’s news at a grassroots level.
Launched in January 2008, the site currently tracks 109 different blog feeds. We are continually adding new feeds, and are looking for new contributors. If you know of other blogging Florida lawyers, please send a note to Steve Matthews or Florida criminal attorney Ron Chapman and we will get them added to the mix!
The DUI Lawyer Blog Watch is a one-stop shop for DUI law commentary. Similar in concept to the Florida Lawyers Blog Watch, DUIblogwatch.com tracks the 50 latest posts from DUI law blogs and aggregates them on a single page, allowing visitors to see a quick snapshot of the last few days’ commentary.
Launched in late July 2008, the site currently monitors 92 different feeds, which include both dedicated DUI blogs as well as criminal law blogs that have been filtered to only include posts that contain the term DUI or DWI. We hope that number of blogs will grow! If you know of another lawyer who blogs on DUI law, please drop a line to Steve Matthews or Phoenix, Arizona DUI lawyer Lawrence Koplow and we will be happy to add them to the mix.
The Canadian Law Blogs List was first published in September 2005 on the Vancouver Law Librarian Blog by Steve Matthews. Steve’s company Stem Legal is proud to continue the open spirit of the original list as it moves forward at lawblogs.ca.
The Canadian Law Blogs List is an open directory with free listings available to any Canadian blogging lawyer, law librarian, marketer, IT professional or paralegal. If you or someone you know publishes a blog that fits this description, please let us know.
LegalPubs.ca – Canadian Legal Publications
The purpose of LegalPubs.ca is to produce a one stop showcase of the products offered by Canadian legal publishers. Using RSS technology, I have mixed the 10 latest items for each of the publishers listed below. Each entry is passed along unmodified from the publisher’s original feed, and simply sorted by date to produce a ‘dynamic watchable list‘ of the latest products available. The main page of the site also includes the linked headlines for each feed as an individual source.
I expect the primary audience for legalpubs.ca to be Law Librarians, and hope this effort will help reduce the mountain of paper advertisements many Librarians regularly receive. It may also prove valuable to solo practitioners and lawyers in small firms who are tasked with creating their own research collections.
Clawbies – Canadian Law Blog Awards
There are lots of great Canadian law blogs out there, and this website is simply a showcase of our local Canadian talent. Please don’t take the ‘awards’ part too seriously – especially considering these endorsements reflect the opinion of a single person. Yes him!
The Clawbies have been running every December since 2006. While final results are released each year on New Year’s Eve, we continue to emphasize that the most important part of the process are the nominations. So please take part!
The Vancouver Law Librarian Blog is the personal professional blog of Steve Matthews. The topics are wide ranging, including legal web development, the Law Librarian profession, RSS technology, Knowledge Management, and legal resources that may interest both local readers and beyond. It’s all fair game here!
Law Firm Web Strategy is about web innovation in the legal space and making the connection to law firm business interests.
