Happy anniversary!

Today is the first anniversary of First Impressions. We started the blog a year ago and have had nearly 200 entries since we started, including posts on the economy, bad attorneys, and law-firm rankings. It seems our readers really like posts about attorneys in trouble, including those who failed to pay to keep their law licenses current; or when a law firm lays off people. I’m not surprised that the more “gossipy” posts generate the most interest. The entry on regulating roadside memorials I wrote in January is also one of more popular posts for some reason. That one I can’t explain.

We started the blog with the goal this could be a place for our legal community to have a forum to discuss issues important to them. Although we haven’t had too many comments, we encourage you to keep reading and feel free to leave a comment about a post. All information posted with your comment can be anonymous if you choose.

Thanks for stopping by and reading First Impressions. We look forward to blogging in the coming year about the happenings in Indiana’s legal community. If you have any suggestions for topics or just general comments, feel free to e-mail me at jmehalik@ibj.com.
