To those not paying attention in recent years, a blog — short for weblog — is a commentary published online with no barrier to entry other than a keyboard, an Internet connection and something useful to say. A blog is in many ways an improvement to the rules of traditional publishing because anyone can author and publish a blog; the content can be short or long, simple or complex; the topic can be limited to a narrow subject area or cover a wide range of topics; it can be published on any schedule, or no schedule at all; and the format invites commentary and interactive dialog.

Imagine having the opportunity to chat at length with the authors of your favorite books, a process that can bring you into the topics on a more visceral level than merely reading can accomplish. As a result of this interactive nature, and this simplicity, and the low barriers to entry, many legal professionals regularly publish blogs on a wide variety of topics.
