Weblogs work for Lawyers Part III: Mark Hall of Babst, Calland, Clements, Zomnir
In part three of a series of interviews with lawyers who are using blogs we talked to Mark Hall of Babst, Calland, Clements, Zomnir of Pittsburgh.
Q: When and why did you start a blog?
A: I started blogging approximately a year ago. After five years of working in the federal court, I had a great deal of specialized, “insider” knowledge about how the courts worked and I was trying to reestablish my complex, commercial litigation practice. The idea was to provide a resource for litigants and lawyers practicing in the federal courts in western Pa.
Q: Have you generated additional legal business directly or indirectly related to your blog?
A: No direct business yet. We’ve been written up in newspaper articles, though, and are maybe getting cudos for being innovative and cutting edge.
Q: Have any of your peers seen your blog? Do they comment on it? Does the fact that they read it cause you to write differently?
A: Yes, peers have seen it and commented. I don’t write differently for them, but I do try to avoid commentary on the quality of particular judges.
