Where are all the female law bloggers? Hanging out in the ADR blogosphere of course
|
October 2008 |
C.C. Holland, writing for Legal Technology laments the lack of strong female voices among legal bloggers and asks, “Where Are All the Female Law Bloggers?”
Holland may not have looked very hard.
There’s a bunch of us — loud, proud, and outspoken — right here in the ADR blogosphere. We include:
Me, Diane Levin, here at Mediation Channel
Vickie Pynchon, Settle It Now Negotiation Law Blog
Stephanie West Allen, Idealawg and Brains on Purpose
Gini Nelson, Engaging Conflicts
Nancy Hudgins, Civil Negotiation and Mediation
Dominique Lopez-Eychenie, her eponymous French language blog
Jan Frankel Schau’s Mediation Insights
Phyllis G. Pollack, PGP Mediation Blog
Paula M. Lawhon, San Francisco Mediation: A Better Solution
Dina Lynch Eisenberg, Mediation Mensch
Andrea Schneider, Nancy Welsh, and Sarah Rudolph Cole, ADR Prof Blog
(I’m also going to make dispute resolution professional and blogging role model Tammy Lenski an honorary lawyer since no list of women who blog about mediation would be complete without including her and her two blogs, Conflict Zen and Mediator Tech.)
