Had a fabulous time at Geeklawyer’s Legal Blogging Conference yesterday. It was certainly an interesting day, and good to be able to put faces to names and hear everyone speak. Pretty good turn-out for the first year out of the box, though it would have been nice to have a few more non-bloggers there to convert :) It was a pleasure to meet Family Law, Head of Legal and Binary Law, amongst others that I can’t quite recall at the minute – my apologies.
Many interesting discussions of the ins and outs of blogging within the legal context, and a very interesting talk from Lee Bryant of Headshift, discussing social software, blogging, wikis, tagging, and whatnot, as being implemented within the corporate environment. Being the only librarian there (and I must say, I was expecting at least a few other legal blogging librarians to be there) it was great to get some insight into the way our lawyers are viewing blogging and all it’s associated issues. Very heartening to know that all this crazy new-fangled social media type stuff is starting to catch on in Chambers too!
I did stay around for a quick pint (no Rioja for me, I’m afraid!), but had to make my leave early, as I was fighting a horrid headcold all day, which finally caught up with me. My apologies to all concerned – I hope you had a tremendous night. I’m looking forward to next year already :)

oh! I’m so sorry to have missed you! :/ I am glad though that there was another one of us there though – what did you think of it?

I thought it was fun – quite liked to slightly unorganised nature of it – and the refreshing lack of power point!

Information Overlord and Enquiry Minds reprezenting for all us busy bees/lazy sods that didn’t attend. I admit to being one of the latter.
