"Newport Beach Lawyer Beats The Times to Win Press Club's Top Blog Award"

Congratulations to J. Craig Williams, who won the Los Angeles Press Club award for Best Individual Weblog (scroll down) for his blog May it Please the Court. Details in yesterday's Daily Journal and on Craig's blog. According to the Daily Journal: "Out of the estimated 1,500 legal blogs, sometimes referred to as blawgs, this is the first time that Kevin O'Keefe, founder of the legal marketing company LexBlog, has heard of one winning a mainstream journalism award. 'The fact that Craig was recognized over and above professional writers is an extraordinary accomplishment,' said O'Keefe ...." It's been a good month for Craig. He also successfully argued on behalf of the Bear Flag League bloggers in the Apple v. Bloggers case, O'Grady v. Superior Court, ___ Cal.App.4th ___ (May 26, 2006).
