State Bar opinion on law blogging issued last month

In December, the State Bar of California Standing Committee on Professional Responsibility and Conduct issued its Formal Opinion No. 2016-196 on attorney blogs.  All law bloggers may wish to review it. 

It's hard to believe it's been ten years, but I shared some of my thoughts on law blogging back in 2006.  Let's hope this new opinion doesn't end up chilling online legal scholarship or journalism by lawyers.
