The decision to begin blogging was more than just to develop a brand identity. The goal is to reach the public and create relationships, share legal knowledge, keep the community informed, promote conversation and feedback, address commonly asked questions, and offer a unique interpretation.

The absence of information advances injustice and leads to inequality. “Ignorantia juris non excusat” is a legal doctrine which asserts that a person’s ignorance of the law is not a valid defense to criminal or civil liability. The expectation is that everyone is either aware of the controlling laws, or can find a way to become informed.

Today, legal professionals must use every platform available to get information to the community. Blogging is a great channel for communication in the digital age and Whiting Legal intends to use this form of communication to provide a starting point for grasping legal concepts and engaging in discussion about the law; the beginning of bridging the gap.
