a public defender

The nomination period for the Funniest Law Blog contest has ended and the 10 finalists have been announced! Head on over to Legal Antics to view the finalists and cast your vote.

It’s time to vote for the funniest law blog. The top 10 blogs submitted are listed in the poll below. Voting will close at 10 pm on June 25th.And guess what? The winner gets a prize! The Billable Hour, which provides clever gifts and greeting cards for legal professionals, is sponsoring this contest. The prize will be the winner’s choice of any single item sold by The Billable Hour (luxury watch line and sets excluded).

Please, only one vote per person. (It appears that a number of you are voting far more than one time for a certain blog. And, those of you doing so are quite proud of that fact and have advertised your minor league “voter fraud” elsewhere. This will not be a repeat of the 2004 presidential elections. I may very well choose to reduce the votes of a certain blog if those of you voting can’t adhere to the simple rule of one vote per person–not per computer–not per scrambled IP address–not per anonymous identity. One.Vote.Per.Person. ‘Nuff said.)

Also, I have added two news blogs to the blogroll:

• the defense perspective
• i was the state

Both are criminal law related blogs, so be sure to check them out.
