The Blawg Review Awards 2005 are out and the Patent Baristas 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, 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.
See this and other nonsensical awards at the Blawg Review Awards, 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 for Best Attempt to Make Tax Law Bearable Award.
