Presented by CBA Legal Futures

The Clawbies—Canada’s Law Blog Awards—celebrate the best free online legal content created by Canadian bloggers, podcasters, newsletter writers, and more. Since their launch in 2006, the awards have highlighted high-quality legal writing and fostered a strong sense of community within the Canadian legal profession.

Last year, it was predicted that 2025 would be “The Year of the Truth-Teller.” But for legal bloggers, what does that really mean for the profession and the clients it serves? Why do the Clawbies matter, and how do they help shape the conversation around legal issues in Canada?

Listen in on a fascinating conversation with Jordan Furlong, Steve Matthews, and Sarah Sutherland as they explore how legal blogs amplify real issues facing the Canadian legal community—just as we approach the deadline for submissions for the 2025 Clawbie Awards.
