Each year, LexisNexis honors a select group of blogs that set the online standard for a given industry. This year, we've expanded Top Blogs to our Litigation Resource Community, and we are asking your help to select the Top 25 Tort Blogs. We've been fortunate to host the content of a number of distinguished legal professionals who have shared their insights and expertise with our Community, and through the process of seeking what we consider to be "top blogs," we have discovered many more.
The Top Tort Blogs campaign on the LexisNexis Litigation Resource Community will move ahead in several phases. We'll start by taking nominations during a comment period that starts today and ends on Nov. 17. We've gathered a group of initial nominees, which are listed below, and we welcome our Community members to make additional nominations and support their favorite blogs. We'll select the top 25 based on our review of the sites and comments from our Community members. After we announce the Top 25 Tort Blog honorees, we'll ask our Community to vote for the Top Tort Blog of the Year.
To "talk up" or nominate your favorite Tort Blog, you'll need to be a registered Community member and be logged in. If you haven't previously registered, follow this link. Registration is free! Once you are logged in, scroll all the way to the very bottom of this page. You should see a comment box similar to this one:
Add a comment in the box at the bottom of the page to vote or nominate your favorite blog, and that's it! If you are having problems with the registration or voting process, click here or please contact us at Gregg.lawson@lexisnexis.com. I'm the Communities Manager, and I want to make sure that everyone gets to vote!
We'd also appreciate your help with spreading the news about our top blogs campaign. Please tell your colleagues and your online groups and networks that our Litigation Resource Community is seeking nominations for the Top 25 Tort Blogs so they can participate in our recognition event. After all, it's only through input from others that we can continue to maintain the value and quality that our Community relies upon when it searches our Top Blogs for insight and information.
