I’m pretty proud of this. On Christmas Eve, two years ago, this blog went live. Most law blogs die quick deaths and with good reason: maintaining a blog is hardwork.<\/p>\n
The mission of this blog has always been to bring the law to the people. My audience isn’t just law professors or lawyers it’s you. Whoever you are. <\/p>\n
For me, this site is a labor of love. In fact, most of the things I write about have nothing to do with my practice. Believe it or not, I’ve never taken on a turkey law case. I spend most of my day writing technical briefs, pleadings, and memos about all sorts of things. I seize this space to write about cat attacks and judges who despise Halloween.<\/p>\n
As a lawyer, this site broadens my perspective on Connecticut law. It keeps me informed, entertained, and engaged. Writing about illegal pets brings me a sense of joy. It reaffirms my love for the law.<\/p>\n
The truth is that this blog doesn’t feel like work for me. If it did, it would soon cease to exist.<\/p>\n
I’ve had more traffic on this site than I ever thought possible. This is my 384th post and there are 393 approved comments.<\/p>\n
This blog has helped me work with the Statewide Grievance Committee to change a legal ethics rule. As a result of this blog, I’ve been interviewed by the CT Law Tribune and ABA Journal. I’m presently working on an article for the ABA journal. I’ve met some great people.<\/p>\n
In sum, this blog has been a significant net plus for me. I hope it’s been at least a little net plus for you.<\/p>\n
Thank you for reading. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
