Too bad Joe Mauer and his mother are tied up with Kemps; they’re not available to plug practicelaw.org. I have calls into Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga but haven’t heard back and need to get this blog post published because today is practicelaw’s one year anniversary of the big redesign. So, in lieu of  high powered celebrity endorsements, I will have to take matters into my own hands. Here goes:

Try practicelaw.

Why? Well it isn’t the cows, rather it is the fact that we have good, solid resources that make your practice more economical and efficient. Since its inception in 2001,  practicelaw has grown steadily and substantially in use and content, and now includes more than 750 peer-reviewed or court-approved practice forms, dozens of checklists and practice aids, and more than 300 links to additional attorney-selected resources available on the internet. All free to MSBA members. (If you’re interested in a peek backwards, read our previous post discussing the Way Back Machine, an internet archive of old web sites.)

We knew we had good resources before, but after our redesign we have more of them, they are easier to find, and they are updated more quickly by staff attorneys and editors and your peers.

Take a look of what we’ve done over the course of the last year. If Marilyn Monroe could sing Happy Birthday to practicelaw, that would seal the deal.

The question isn’t really “Why use practicelaw?” rather, “Why not?” I know Justin and Lady Gaga would agree.
