In January 2005, TechnoLawyer member Geoffrey Gussis began writing InhouseBlog, an information resource for inhouse counsel. Only a few months have passed, yet InhouseBlog this week achieved a significant milestone — it has become a Law.com Blawg Affiliate. As a result, Law.com will feature posts from InhouseBlog in its Legal Blog Watch.

Geoffrey, a lawyer at Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland & Perretti LLP, previously worked as a corporate counsel. There, he "accumulated links to a number of online tools and resources that made [his] job easier." Though he now works in private practice, Geoffrey felt compelled to share his accumulated knowledge with corporate counsel through InhouseBlog, which he writes in his spare time.

Check out some of his recent posts on IBM's corporate blogging policy and recent developments in electronic discovery.

TechnoLawyer member Toby Brown, along with colleague Lincoln Mead, recently entered the ever-growing legal blogosphere with Barchives: The Blog for Bars.

Toby, who works as the Director of Communications for the Utah State Bar, began Barchives "as a means for sharing information on bar operations," and also to promote BarAlliance, which Toby describes as "an effort to build a consortium of bars to share a bar-centric membership management system."

The posts cover a variety of technology and law practice management topics always maintaining, as Toby says, a "member benefit focus."   

Check out some recent posts on the law practice management trend, the proposed financial benefits of BarAlliance, and why Internet security should concern bars and lawyers.
