'Tis the Season... for Blog Contests
(And Today's Featured Survey)
In a matter of hours, voting will end in the ABA Journal's Blawg 100 contest. ATL is competing in the Gossip category. If you'd like to vote for us, or one of the other fine gossip blogs in the category, just click here.
We have a decent-sized lead, so we're not going for the hard sell. In contrast, over in the Generally Speaking category, a fierce battle is raging between Overlawyered and Quizlaw -- separated by about 30 votes, out of over 3,000 cast. Check out their respective plugs here and here, replete with "last-second dirty tricks." Because no legal blog contest is complete without eleventh-hour chicanery -- the stakes are too darn high.
As one blog contest draws to a close, another gets underway. Nominations are now being accepted for the Eighth Annual Weblog Awards (aka the 2008 Bloggies). There's no "law" category (and, as of this year, no "Best African or Middle Eastern Weblog" or "Best Craft Weblog" category -- may they rest in peace). But if you're feeling nice, feel free to nominate ATL for either "Best Gossip Blog" or "Best Topical Blog."
And here is yet another blog contest (because you can never have too many blog contests). It takes the form of today's featured job survey, brought to you by ATL and Lateral Link:
The ABA Journal Blawg 100 [ABA Journal]
The ABA Journal Blawg 100: Gossip [ABA Journal]
Eighth Annual Weblog Awards: 2008 Bloggies [official website]

gawd, lat, you've disappeared into your own navel. no posts for a week, then we get this inane garbage? my favorite law blog is the one i used to find at abovethelaw but which has someone been replaced by an absentee self-promoter.
Lawsuit abuse ad = biting the hand that feeds.
No SCOTUSBlog?
It has to have a readership that dwarfs most of those up there...
Blogonaut!
Where's my blawg? Civil, non-anonymous comments only, please.
How is SCOTUSBlog not on that list?
David - I'm underwhelmed with your first day back.
Blogonaut rules.
Anonymous Lawyer? That shit is terrible.
Better path for T5-->V10: corporate department doing high-profile cross-border transactions or litigation department doing bet-the-company lawsuits?
Why is the WSJ listed twice?
Write-in Blogonaut.
What about What About Clients?
Now there are two listings for "other" as well. What's up with that?
No SCOTUSBlog and no What About Clients?

Hmmmm, I see the voting loophole has been closed.
Why isn't Powerline an option? It is also a blog by lawyers.
So much for your write-in campaign, Blogonaut. ;)
Hilarious Youtube video making fun of anti-Christmas warriors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XQPJ8i1yHQ
This was sort of off topic, but since liberals make off topic posts all the time...
Generic ungrateful, "what have you done for me in the past WEEK" commentary
Dear 11:17:
I demand a recount!
The credibility of this ballot and this blog will remain suspect until the addition of the most engaging blog of our time... at least the most engaging blog that combines the most fiery of threesomes: Girls, Law and Taxes.
I refer, of course, to Tax Girl, located at (briliant!) http://www.taxgirl.com.

Ah, Sean, I think I'm blushing! Thanks for the kudos!
Let's hear it for Tax Girl! I'm with Sean! Brilliant writing, witty stuff and (gasp!) tax info! Gotta love it!
I'm with Sean & Phil.
TaxGirl is not just about deadbeat but inevitable taxes, but everything else that makes interesting & inspiring reading.
