Attorneys, Before You Blog, Check With Your Insurance Carrier Attorneys, Before You Blog, Check With Your Insurance Carrier

Law.com: Before You Blog, Check With Your Insurance Carrier says that at least one NJ law firm has banned blogging after its malpractice carrier told them that attorney blogging would make them uninsurable.

In theory, I can understand the argument - that the blogging attorneys could occasionally be taken as giving legal advise. But it is a sledge hammer approach to this, evidencing a lack of understanding of blogging on the part of the carrier (apparently Executive Risk Specialty, a unit of Chubb).
