(In fact I get traffic from around the world.) They also raise the profile of the New York bar and tend to give more opportunities for New York lawyers. That's of interest to Mr. Colodner and his committee, I would think. Martin, blogs by New York lawyers — like mine, for instance — have an impact on the whole country.

If this <i>does</i> pass, we should get you and every blog-writing attorney in the state a little utility code. This code would make a minor change to the site every hour -- maybe a random "quote of the hour" feature -- and then automatically send a hard copy order to Kinko's, with delivery order to the disciplinary committee.
