I have another blog site called The Law & Science Fiction <\/a>that I am particularly proud of, but it’s kind of a pain in the butt having two blogs to update.\u00a0 I wind up ignoring that one for this one.\u00a0 To solve the problem I’m moving all those posts over here for good.\u00a0 I’ll probably leave that blog up as an archive, and will continue to add legal articles here as I write them.\u00a0 The post below was from one of the WordPress “Pages” that I had on that other site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want to find the legal content, go to the “Categories” drop-down where you will see all the old tags.\u00a0 Click “Law” to see all of the articles, or pick the issue you want to see more about.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for this post, I know\u00a0the mash-up word I made is\u00a0kind of stupid (I also used to call the law blog a “blawg” too.\u00a0 Cute, isn’t it?), but\u00a0it’s a combination of “lawyers” and “authors.” I promise to take it down when I think of something else that doesn’t sound so dumb, but at the time it took\u00a0up only a tiny amount of real estate on the top bar of that blog. Here are a few authors who are (or were; some are dead, some are alive) attorneys:<\/p>\n

Charles Harness<\/a>
\nJoe Hensley<\/a>
\nMelinda Snodgrass<\/a>
\nJoseph Delaney*<\/a>
\nLisa Mason*<\/a><\/p>\n

A number of authors also deal frequently with legal issues, but are not themselves attorneys. Ill add to this list, and the list above, as I become aware of them:<\/p>\n

Isaac Asimov<\/a>
\nRobert Sawyer<\/a>
\nRobert Silverberg<\/a><\/p>\n

*Special thanks to Randy Stafford for pointing out that these two are attorneys. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
