Keeping a blawg also can be helpful when you update your resume and compose cover letters[…] 2004, American Bar Association, Student lawyer: Volume 33:
If there is a blawg you would like to see added, please feel free to suggest that we add it to the list. 2006, Carole A. Levitt, Mark E. Rosch, The lawyer's guide to fact finding on the Internet, page 738:
The vowel of blog can mutate, as when law blogs are called blawgs or requests via blog posts are called blegs (combining blog and beg). [2010 November 11, Ben Zimmer, “Web”, in The New York Times Magazine:

Meanings
(Internet) To write about legal topics on a blog.
When attorneys began blawging, their discourse was not so clearly public, despite the fact that blawgs are far more accessible to many more people than any advertisement. 2009, Judy M. Cornett, "The Ethics of Blawging: A Genre Analysis", Loyola University Chicago Law Journal, Volume 41, Issue 1, Fall 2009, page 233
Finally, do legal professionals owe a duty to society in general when blawging? 2007, Anna P. Hemingway, “The ethical obligations of lawyers, law students and law professors telling stories on web logs”, in The Law Teacher, volume 41, number 3, page 294:
For example, I do this regularly in Internet Law through requiring my students to blawg. 2013, David S. Levine, “What Can We Do on Monday to Improve Our Teaching?”, in Chapman Law Review, volume 17, number 1, page 32:
