Well we think so. And apparently somebody else does so too. The “Health Expert Blog” has listed us among its “Top 50 Medical Ethics Blogs” under the heading Medical Law Blogs. We thank them for the recognition – deserved or not.
Us? Ethical?
Long Live the Blog
You read right – Herrmann bailed. I can’t really blame him, Aon made him an offer that he couldn’t refuse. Take the in-house money and run, man. And get your nights and weekends back, too….
So it’s Bexis here, taking over the blog. First things first. Everything will continue essentially as is, except for Herrmann’s
Herrmann’s Farewell Post
There are not many days when I wish I were in Philadelphia.
But today’s one of them. I wish I were standing in Bexis’s office at Dechert this very minute. I want to see the look on his face:
Hey, Bexis: I’m outta here!
Sorry, guy.
After 20 years at Jones Day, I’ve been made
Why Big Firms Don’t Blog Well
Herrmann’s off on a solo lark again.
He looked at the ABA Journal’s list of the “Top 100” legal blogs of 2009 to see how many blogs affiliated with big firms — the AmLaw 200 — were on the list.

1000 Posts!
Today’s post marks a milestone for us: This is our 1000th post at the Drug and Device Law Blog!
That’s 1000 posts in not quite three years, or better than 5 posts in an average week.
We’re cookin’!
But enough about us; let’s talk about you.

As often happens when we blog about blogging, we became suddenly popular on Monday:

The Life Expectancy Of A Legal Blog
Whenever we start thinking about blogging, rather than about drug and device law, Bexis gets spooked.
So this post was written by Herrmann alone, ruminating about the life expectancy of a newborn legal blog.
What prompted the rumination?
The professors who previously manned the Product Liability Prof Blog and the Civil Procedure Prof Blog have

Herrmann went off on a frolic and detour (from drug and device law) in a couple of recent posts, first noting that none of the ten firms with the highest profits per partner sponsored blogs and then speculating about why that’s so.
More On Big Firm Blogging
A couple of weeks ago, Herrmann noted in passing that, although many big firms now sponsor blogs, none of the ten firms with the highest profits per partner (that much-despised, but oft-cited metric) do.
You don’t have to say much to set off an avalanche in the blogosphere.
Many folks contacted us, on or off-line,
The State Of The Big Firm Blogosphere
Beck thinks only about drug and device law. Herrmann sometimes veers off-topic and thinks about blogging.
This morning’s post, a frolic and detour about big firm blogging, is Herrmann’s work alone.
We took a peek at Kevin O’Keefe’s recent report on the State of the AmLaw 200 Blogosphere to see whether blogging is catching on
