Is a legal blog a solicitation?

Some courts in New York might say yes.

There is a proposal to place Legal Blogs in the same category as solicitation for business, and thus subject to strict scrutiny, so says a recent email that I received from the ABA.

Now you understand why I have strived to keep THIS BLOG free of "pay-for-clicks" ads and the like. I have absolutely no interest in having ANYTHING that I do under any sort of "strict scrutiny."

I would rather worry about creating settlement distribution letters for my clients to sign, as I hand them their share of the settlement check. That's why I went to law school: to make things right for a client who has been wronged.
