Among the other worries bloggers should keep in mind, there may be an extra layer of bother on the horizon for we lawyer bloggers. As Julie Hilden over at Findlaw discusses, some state bar associations are considering regulating legal blogs as a form of advertising. Also, as Hilden points out, this seems like a very bad idea. Could anyone reading this honestly think I'm soliciting business (for the record, I only represent court appointments, so I can't be "hired" as such)? While some blogs, associated with law firm web sites and such, may become advertising, regulating all legal blogs as such seems ridiculously overbroad.

I agree with you. I think it's pretty obvious that this site (like mine) is a personal one, and I hate to imagine having to add a "legal disclaimer" on it. Sheesh.
Agreed!
