On November 30th, 2010, the Editors of the ABA Journal had announced the selection of the top 100 best law blogs by lawyers, for lawyers. Readers were then given one full month to vote for their favorite blogs. Each individual could vote for more than one blog in any category, but could only vote once per blog. Now the voting has ended and the ABA Journal has announced the winners of the Fourth Annual ABA Journal Blawg 100, which recognizes the best legal blogs for 2010.
We are pleased to announce that our readers voted IPWatchdog.com as the winner in our category making us the Top IP Law blog on the Internet in 2010! We would like to congratulate all of the blogs that made it into the top 100, provide linkbacks to those blogs selected and encourage our readers to check out these top legal blogs. Their accomplishments should not go unnoticed. To our readers, we thank you for your loyalty and support.
