Honor and guilt

I was honored to learn that the editors of the ABA Journal have selected The Client Revolution as one of the 100 best websites by lawyers, for lawyers. There was a nice quote from Edward A. Adams, the Journal’s editor and publisher:

Each year, it’s gotten harder and harder to pick the 100 best blawgs because so many lawyers are now sharing their professional expertise online. We’ve never had as strong a group of law blogs as we have this year.

The entire list is here. (Make sure you look through the different categories. We fall under "Business.") The fine folks at Law Shucks (also selected) have created a Twitter list of Blawg 100 editors to follow, if you're so inclined. I've met many of them through Twitter, and I can tell you that it's a great group of people.

Lance Godard, whose excellent 22 Tweets site was also honored, wrote that this blog "envisions a different world where the focus is on value, not the cost of legal services." Well said, Lance, and thanks.

But along with this honor came a wet smack of guilt like a flounder in the face. In its summary, the Journal wrote:

The Client Revolution by Boston lawyer Jay Shepherd almost missed the cut this year because of fairly infrequent posts. But when he homes in on a client-focused topic, his insight and analysis is well worth the read.

D'oh. Like my conscience yelling at me to write more wasn't enough. But I appreciate the sentiment, and I'll work on frequency.

By the way, my new taskmasters (!) at the Journal are inviting lawyers to vote on their favorites in each of the Blawg 100’s ten categories. You can vote here. Voting ends December 31.
