Clawbies 2019

ABlawg is delighted to announce that Nigel Bankes was awarded a 2019 Canadian Law Blog Award (Clawbie) in the category of Best Bloggers on a Platform or Shared Blog. The awards committee noted his “great analysis of everything going on in energy law, particularly in Alberta” and that “readers call him “the blogger’s blogger” who sets the standard for his fellow authors at ABlawg.” We could not agree more – congratulations Nigel!

We also congratulate U Calgary Law’s Pro Bono Students Canada team, whose podcast Hearsay won a Clawbie in the Best Student Projects category, and our alumnus and ABlawgger Joshua Sealy-Harrington for his success in the Best Twitter Accounts category.

Congratulations to all the Clawbie winners and thanks to our readers for your nominations and continued support.
