Glenn Kauth of Canadian Lawyer magazine mentioned Omar Ha-Redeye in the current June 2009 issue,
Even law students are using the Twitter-blog combination to get their names out there and position themselves in the field. Omar Ha-Redeye, a second-year student at the University of Western Ontario law school, has garnered a lot of attention through his blog as well as through the web sites Law is Cool and Slaw, too, which he says is already benefiting him as he develops a reputation well before he graduates. “I have lots of informal mentorships with lots of lawyers practising in the field.”
The article also interviewed Erik Magraken of MacIsaac & Co, Deborah Glendinning of Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Rick Powers of the Rotman School of Management, Simone Hughes at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, Michael Rabinovici of AR Communications Inc, Dan Michaluk and Susan Carnevale of Hicks Morley Hamilton Stewart Storie LLP, Michael Rynowecer of BTI Consulting Group Inc., and David Diamond of Diamond & Diamond Lawyers.
A review of the piece by Omar Ha-Redeye can be found on Slaw.
Due to a recent move to Slaw, responsibilities at Law is Cool have been shifted to others on the team.
Devin Johnston has taken on the role as the new director of podcasts on the site. Legal podcasts are still cutting edge and innovative, and the site was one of the first to develop them in the Canadian legal community.
The visibility this created for the site and participants were tremendous, and led to the 2007 CLawBie Award and Canadian Lawyer‘s Top 10 Canadian Blogs.
A few law firms in Canada are using podcasts to communicate with the public and develop clients, most notably Hull & Hull, Osler and Gowlings.
Devin launched his first podcast today, with amazing success. He will definitely do a great job on the site.
