It&rsquo;s been a wonderful ride. Waking up every Sunday morning (OK, most Sunday mornings), grabbing a cup of java, and writing 600 words about the latest in legal ethics might not be everyone&rsquo;s idea of fun. But I&rsquo;ve loved it.
Over the last half-decade our 230-some posts have been read about 75,000 times. We&rsquo;ve twice won awards from the ABA Journal &ndash; in <a href="http://www.abajournal.com/magazine/article/10th_annual_blawg_100">2016</a> and <a href="http://www.abajournal.com/magazine/article/best_law_blogs_2018">2018</a>. The blog has been cited in law review articles, other blogs, news feeds like Law 360, and even in a law school casebook.
Best of all, this blog has allowed me and my co-editors to engage with lawyers from every sector&nbsp;of the legal community who are interested in legal ethics, and to be an ethics&nbsp;resource for companies big and small across the country &ndash; and around the world.&nbsp; We are always amazed that we have faithful readers in places like Sweden, China, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.
We have also paved the way for three more <a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/">Thompson Hine</a> blogs on the <a href="https://www.lexblog.com/">LexBlog</a> platform: <a href="https://www.trumpandtrade.com/">Trump and Trade</a>, <a href="https://www.roboadviserblog.com/">Source Code</a>, and our newest, <a href="https://www.erisalitigation.com/">ERISA Litigation</a>. You should check them out.
Thanks to all our readers, and here&rsquo;s to many more years.
