These two have been around the 'net and the law for years and really know their stuff. This book is very expensive, but if you're in the business of law firm web site development, at a law firm looking to develop a site, or simply interested in the confluence of law and the Internet, you must make this investment.

While the ranking of existing law firm sites is useful, of particular interest is the abundant advice on what to do, or not to do, to make your site interesting, easy to navigate and compelling enough to draw repeat visitors.

There is lot more to marketing on the Internet than a website. How you market your website to search engines, how you are listed in the InterNIC's domain name database, and how your have configured frequently guessed e-mail accounts are all part of the marketing equation. RedStreet regularly reviews law firm websites and publishes those reviews on our website (http://redstreet.redstreet.com). This books is, in short, a more detailed review of the nation's 300 largest law firm websites, including all of "The National Law Journal" 250 (the NLJ 250) law firm websites. Our website reviews - and this book - focus primarily on content, presentation, and experience.

The authors are clearly experts on the design and structure of law firm web sites. They carefully lay out the criteria that they use and then guide the reader through numerous examples.

While not inexpensive, this book is worth every penny (all 250,000 of them!). It makes a great gift for that tough-to-please lawyer on your list.

I am already looking forward to the 2001 edition.
