We are proud to announce that one of our attorneys and two friends of the firm have had their blogs nominated by the ABA Journal for Criminal Justice Blawg of the year: Mirriam Seddiq, who is of counsel with our firm and who writes the blog not Guilty No Way, Matt Kaiser, who blogs about federal appeals cases, and Jamison Koehler, author of the Koehler Law Blog.

This is the fifth year that the ABA Journal has sponsored a contest to find the best blawgs out there. This year it received over 1300 nominations and has narrowed the field to 100 blawgs covering the following categories: News, Trial Practice, LPM, Niche, For Fun, Opinion, IP Law, Labor and Employment, Criminal Justice, Business Law, Torts, and Legal Technology. We are very excited for our three attorney friends whose blawgs have made it this far in the process!

Mirriam Seddiq is of counsel with Price Benowitz LLP and the writer of the blog Not Guilty No Way. In 2010 her blog was voted the Criminal Justice Blawg of the year by the ABA Journal, and she has been nominated for the award again this year. Not only does she offer great legal representation to her clients, but she calls it like she sees it and holds nothing back. The result is a blog that is funny, irreverent, and uncensored. We are thrilled that she is part of our team.

Matt Kaiser is an experienced federal defense attorney in Washington, DC and has a blog dedicated to federal appeals cases, especially those where the criminal defendant wins. A former federal public defender, Matt's blog brings a very particular and practiced knowledge to an underserved area of law. He represents people accused of serious federal crimes and who are appealing federal convictions or sentences. His ample experience on the subject of federal appeals shines through his writing, rendering his blog both smart and informative.

Jamison Koehler is a well-respected practitioner in Washington, DC and author of the Koehler Law Blog. His blog offers more than great writing; it has become the go-to destination for readers seeking news and information about the DC criminal justice system. Koehler's blog covers a wide variety of topics related to criminal defense that appeal to lawyers, people charged with a crime, and laymen who have no connection to the law but who can appreciate a blog that is well-written and insightful.

These three attorneys and bloggers have truly raised the bar for law bloggers everywhere, and we are thrilled to hold them as the examples to which our white color blog can aspire. Please visit the ABA Journal's 2011 Blawg Contest and vote for our friends Mirriam Seddiq, Matt Kaiser, and Jamison Koehler.
