600 Camp added to the blog roll

It’s been a while since I’ve updated the appellate blogroll on this page. So everyone, say hello to 600 Camp, an excellent blog covering civil litigation in the U.S. Fifth Circuit.

Law blog on preserving error

Recently I came across I Object! A Blog on Preservation of Error. It’s sponsored by the good folks at Carlton Fields Jorden Burt, and is edited by Wendy Lumish, Sylvia Walbolt, and Steven Bickensderfer. I’m adding it to my news feed.

Check out my appellate blogroll

I just did a little tidying up of my appellate blogroll, which you’ll find in the right column near the bottom. I deleted some blogs that have not been updated in more than two months. And I added the IMLA Appellate Practice Blog, produced by the International Municipal Lawyers Association. Among its offerings are writing tips and appellate-court news. One of the contributors is Ann Schwing, whom I know through Scribes.

So check out the appellate blogroll. It now includes 23 appellate blogs from across the country. If you know of a worthwhile appellate blog that’s not listed, send me an e-mail and we’ll see about curing the omission.

Brief Right: A blog worth following.

Here is a worthwhile blog on brief-writing that I just discovered: Brief Right, by Kirby Griffis. Topics include any aspect of writing or editing briefs. If you haven’t done so already, check it out.
