Real Lawyers To Stage Road Show at Clio Cloud Conference

Real Lawyers Road Show Clio Cloud Conference

Real Lawyers will be staging a road show at the Clio Cloud Conference in San Diego next Monday and Tuesday.

Real Lawyers has staged road shows in close to 100 cities across the United States, Canada and Europe over the last fifteen years.

We’ll be there live video interviewing legal tech entrepreneurs, legal bloggers who are connecting with people and advancing the law, speakers (the likes of whom are not seen at other legal conferences), and attendees.

People’s stories – the highs, the lows, the advances they have made to serve others, and the impact this had on themselves and their families is the stuff that the life is made of.

It’s these stories Real Lawyers is after – to shine a light on our guest and their work.

Real Lawyers, as it always has, will:

Conduct interviews on Facebook Live
Run the interviews on YouTube, with a transcript following, on Real Lawyers
Sharing the interviews across Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook
With Real Lawyers being a member of the LexBlog network, LexBlog, closing on 30,000 bloggers strong, will run the interviews across its site and via its Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Real Lawyers will be on Facebook Live on my Facebook from about 12 ET through 8 ET, each Monday and Tuesday.

We have a number of people scheduled to be on Real Lawyers at Clio. If you are interested in being on, drop me an email, kevin@lexblog.com, or call/text, 206-321-3627. You can also reach LexBlog’s associate editor, Melissa Lin, who is producing Real Lawyers at Clio, at melisa@lexblog.com.

I have really enjoyed my association and friendship with Jack and the Clio team, since the company’s inception.

Clio’s conference is so much more than other legal conferences. Clio Con, as I’ve always called it, focuses on advancing lives for the better. The lives of lawyers and their families and the lives of the people we serve who have no effective access to legal services.

Lawyers leave Clio Con empowered and inspired.

Real Lawyers road show at Clio hopes to capture a slice of the “Clio community and cause” in action. To hear and shine a light on the drive, courage and vision of those bringing change to the business of law, for good.

I hope you’ll feel inspired by watching.

Job security is a myth for lawyers without a personal brand

I talked with a highly respected legal professional last Friday who was recently let go by his law firm. He had been employed by the firm for four or five years and employed by similar large law firms for a couple decades before. A couple weeks ago I heard of veteran lawyer who joined a large firm with a major client, but whose employment status was now at risk with the general counsel’s leaving his client. These stories pale in comparison to all of the lawyers who have been the victim of downsizing caused by the collapse or merger of their law firms. With the changes in the legal services market, very few lawyers have job (or stable income) security writes Dan Lear, Director of Industry Relations at Avvo. Lawyers need to build a strong brand or a business, and to do so now, Per Lear, the job security once held by law firm partners and in-house counsel who had reached the the ranks of Assistant General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel is gone. There’s the former general counse

The economics of a legal blogging network as a virtual community

Over twenty years ago I read of the power of virtual communities in Net Gain, Expanding Markets Through Virtual Communities by John Hagel and Arthur Armstrong (now executive director of Debevoise &Plimpton). I read Net Gain then while creating Prairielaw.com, a virtual law community of lawyers and lay people alike, later sold to LexisNexis. I am reading Net Gain again as LexBlog’s worldwide legal blogging network begins to pick up steam. This legal blogging network is every bit a virtual community of: Blogging legal professionals Those supporting these legal bloggers – LexBlog and its partners Those whom benefit from the legal information and commentary of legal bloggers, including legal professionals, consumers of legal services empowered by legal blogs to select a lawyer in a more informed fashion, and other publishers who receive blog commentary by syndication. No question there is a business model in organizing a legal blogging community, so long as the focus rema

Blogging Makes You a Better Lawyer

LexBlog’s associate editor, Melissa Lin , shared on Twitter this week a blog post of mine on some of the reasons that lawyers blog – to learn, to join a conversation and to build a community. To which Josh King , the former general counsel of Avvo and the current general counsel of realself added, “Also makes you a better lawyer. Also makes you a better lawyer. — Josh King (@joshuamking) September 27, 2019 I have been following King’s blog for years. He has a keen interest in the professional speech regulation of lawyers, and how that regulation may not serve the public interest. I’ve watched him pick up relevant news stories, whether from traditional media or legal bloggers, dissect the issue, analyze the law and share his commentary. Good stuff. I engaged him and others on many of his posts. King was doing exactly one of the things we were told in law school, and which the consumer of legal services would like to see in their lawyer, he was staying up to speed in relevant
