Blogroll maintenance
25 February 2012
Today I did some long-overdue maintenance of my legal-writing blogroll. If you haven’t browsed the selections there, why not have a look? It’s just to the left, right under “Recent Comments.” Relatively recent additions include the following:
- Mark Adler. Mark is from England. He retired as a solicitor a few years ago and now lives in in the southern French mountains. His web site “is intended for lawyers and others (including lawyers' clients) who are interested in legal language; but it includes some items which deal with language in general for those who want a wider perspective.” Among the recent additions to his Comment page is Stressful Ambiguity, a short piece demonstrating how sentences that are clear when spoken can become ambiguous when written.
- Sentence first, billed as “an Irishman’s blog about the English language.” Its proprietor is Stan Carey, who describes himself as “a scientist and writer turned editor and swivel-chair linguist.”
- Appellate Record, where Texas appellate lawyer Kendall Gray writes entertainingly about legal writing.
