What’s new and notable in the legal blawgosphere? Lately, it seems many websites are singing the praises of criminal defense lawyers.

And a few more blawgs of note from the past week:

  • Enlisting some legal help. The U.S. Air Force is again allowing members to omit the phrase “so help me God” when taking enlistment oaths, if the members so choose. The Wall Street Journal Law Blog explains how the issue came about.
  • How to walk out of a mediation. As you probably know, not all mediations work out well. Seattle attorney Karen Koehler (aka The Velvet Hammer) shares some lawyerly tips on when and how to walk away from the table.

Holler is our weekly roundup of some of our favorite posts from the blawgosphere. Have any suggestions for future installments? Let us know via Twitter (@FindLawLP) or Facebook (FindLaw for Legal Professionals).
