David J. Bilinsky provides some advice to law students and mentions the importance of blogging for creating a profile,

Target the law that you wish to do and then start to find firms that practice that area..and try to get on their radar screen. How? Use social media!  The best way I know of is to start working in that area – by building a blog and start getting known for your interest in a certain area.  Omar Ha-Redeye was a law student in Canada that started a blog as a student on health and reputation management law (he is now a called lawyer) and this blog gave him immense exposure well before he graduated and led to his being included in award-winning legal blogs as www.slaw.ca.  You can see Omar’s blog here.

    Everyone is the poet of their memories. … But like the best poems, they’re also never really finished because they gain new meaning as time reveals them in different lights. Richard Hell The resolution of disputes does not always depend on the memories of parties or witnesses, but when credibility is at issue the memories […]
  • Awakening the Sun April 30, 2024
    I recently read about an interesting concept about reframing one’s point of view. It stated that if you wake up with the sun, you are still asleep. However if you awaken the sun, then you are truly awake. I had to read it a few times to actually understand it’s meaning, but then I realized […]
