Thanks to Human Law for recommending this blog by US attorney, Melissa Lafsky. She started the blog anonymously in March 2005. It quickly received media recognition and became extremely popular, getting up to ten thousand hits per day. At the end of 2005 she resigned from her job "in order to avoid scandal and prevent any potential embarrassment to my coworkers" and is now working on a novel based on the blog.I, too, would like to recommend Opinionistas. As it's title suggests, the blog comprises the personal opinions of it's author based upon her "various experiences as a law firm paralegal, summer associate and junior attorney". It is extremely well written, containing many insights into the US legal profession. Since leaving her job Ms Lafsky has also given her views upon such subjects as prenuptial agreements and women in law firms.
Opinionistas can now be found in my other legal blog links to the right.
