Once again, the folks at TechnoLawyer and the TechnoLawyer Blog have released their yearly Blawg and legal technology round-up and information storehouse: BlawgWorld 2007. This year, however, there is even more good information than in years past, and a totally new format which is as easy to use as it is impressive.

BlawgWorld 2007

This year the editors at TechnoLawyer have put together two separate eBooks in one single file. The first part of this year’s offering includes a collection of 77 of the best articles from around the legal blawgsphere on a wide array of subjects impacting lawyers, law firms, and those involved in legal technology. There is a bevy of information in these articles, and they are truly an invaluable tool to a practitioner, a law firm manager, or legal IT consultant.

Second, BlawgWorld 2007 includes the “TechnoLawyer Problem & Solution Guide” which includes information on a wide variety of solution providers. Now admittedly, a great deal of the information in the Problem & Solution guide is advertising by various third-party providers, but the information contained in these offerings is really useful—especially for legal professionals who need information on help and solutions and don’t have the time to look all over the web or phone book. While I know that some have criticized this as little more than a lengthy collection of ads, (See
Robert J. Ambrogi’s: BlawgWorld 2007: I Still Don’t Get It) I must respectfully disagree, and mirror the words of Ross Kodner in praising TechnoLawyer for putting together a fabulous resource which can serve as an excellent resource for every lawyer who uses a computer. (See

BlawgWord 2007 is available in PDF format, includes a series linked indexes, and—joy of joys—is completely text searchable. For those who typically eschew eBooks, don’t be discouraged, Blawg World 2007 is remarkably readable and easy to navigate.

On top of all of that, it is absolutely free!

It is truly worth the time to download and give BlawgWorld 2007 a look. It is a really wonderful offering.
