Trying to stay informed? Lawyerist
Lawyerist is home to the largest online community of solo and small-firm lawyers in the world, but it didn’t start out that way.
Sam Glover started a blog in 2007 called SoloSmallTech when he was searching for better tech tools for law practice. A small community started to come together in the comments, and it became one of the best places online to find innovative ideas for solo and small practices. Sam renamed the blog Lawyerist and invited other writers to contribute and cover other law practice subjects.
Their goal is to help lawyers build better law practices by bringing together a group of innovative lawyers to share ideas, experiments, and best practices. They include posts that range from longer, comprehensive articles, to shorter notes, email newsletters, the Lawyerist Podcast, a Q&A forum, and survival guides.
