Lawyers' Blogs Nominated

The nominees for the 7th annual Weblog Awards, the 2007 Bloggies, have been announced, finally.

And among the many excellent blogs nominated are three written by lawyers who were recently recognized by Forbes as web celebs.

In the category for best weblog about politics, Instapundit, by Glenn Reynolds, goes head to head with Daily Kos by Markos Moulitsas.

TechCrunch, written by reformed attorney Michael Arrington, is up for an award in the category for best computers or technology weblog.

Apparently, the secret must be out about Blawg Review. It wasn't even nominated in the category for the best-kept secret weblog. Seems fair, though, since this editor, who knows most of the blogs in this year's Bloggies, hadn't heard of any of the five blogs nominated for the award for best-kept secret weblog.
