The Blawg Review Awards 2005 [1] are out and the Patent Baristas [2] won the award for Best Blawg Theme with a note that the Baristas “presented a strong showing in the graphic design competition, as well.”
While we liked the nod to Overlawyered [3], which picked up the award for Best Name for a legally-oriented blog, we’re especially intrigued by the award for the Best Special Interest Blog by a lawyer – Professor Bainbridge on Wine [4].
See this and other nonsensical awards at the Blawg Review Awards [1], the only awards program where participants are invited “to invent some new award categories and wield your authority like a law blogger by giving awards to your personal favorites – maybe even giving yourself the award you deserve.” We’d like to see a nod to Paul Caron’s TaxProf Blog [5] for Best Attempt to Make Tax Law Bearable Award.
