Launching The UK Law Blogging Review

An excellent initiative, David. I think that the US is still some way ahead of the UK for legal blogging, but such round-ups should hopefully encourage the further development of UK legal blogging - there is a lot of legal skill, knowledge and experience still to be harnessed in terms of blogging in the UK. Another welcome feature to this is that the blog posts aren't to be judged on any social media/page view metrics. I do think that a lot of potential legal bloggers in the UK are put off by the fact that they won't have a large network to which to share their posts. I think that as long as they share their posts (or get them into a shareable state) e.g. by tweeting links with hashtag #law #legal etc, that should be enough to get them into a visible form so that legal publishers like The Lawyer can pick up on them and give them greater exposure. All the best, Gavin
