Luddite Lawyers Are Ethical Violations Waiting To Happen, by Megan Zavieh, Lawyerist Blog
http://lawyerist.com/luddite-lawyers-ethical-violations-waiting-happen/
The ABA made it abundantly clear that lawyers must keep up with technology when it amended comment 8 to Model Rule 1.1 on competence. Comment 8 now reads:
To maintain the requisite knowledge and skill, a lawyer should keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology, engage in continuing study and education and comply with all continuing legal education requirements to which the lawyer is subject. (Emphasis added.)

≈ Comments Off on Named “The Best Legal Blogs of 2013” – so far. . . .
Although I think it is too soon to call it, these blogs have been named, to date, the top legal blogs for 2013. Some great blogs may be missing, but everything here deserves the title. There are many top-notch regional or special legal area blogs deserving of high recognition regardless of whether they make a national list. Even though the ABA will not announce its list of the top 100 blogs until later this year, my guess is that the majority listed below will no doubt will make the cut.
