NCBarBlog is the blog community of the North Carolina Bar Association, the largest voluntary association of legal professionals in the state. Here, NCBA Section, Division and Commitee members share original, substantive content with fellow members.

Who can contribute to the NCBarBlog Section/Division blogs?

Blog post authors should be members of the NCBA Community. Communications Chairs have the final approval on the content of blog posts. NCBarBlog editor Jessica Junqueira reviews blog post submissions for issues of grammar and formatting. We ask that you do not publish wholesale reproductions of articles and posts written by non-members.

Can I reprint a blog post that has been published on NCBarBlog?

Yes, as long as you credit the NCBA Section/Division/Committee webpage where the blog was originally published.

Who gets email notifications of new blog posts?

Section, Division and Committee members are automatically enrolled in the email notification list for their blog. They do not need to subscribe.

What are the guidelines for NCBarBlog submissions?

If you would like to submit a post to be considered for publication on NCBarBlog, contact the NCBA communities manager for that Section, Division or Committee.

If you would like to submit a post to be considered for publication as an NCBarBlog Featured Post, submit a pitch by contacting NCBarBlog editor Jessica Junqueira. Featured posts focus on topics of interest to NCBA members, including issues of work-life balance, digital technology and the law, the practice of law and access to justice. Posts can be of any length.

What are the guidelines for sponsored posts?

We allow posts from sponsors who have contracted with NCBA. The content must be approved by the Section/Division/Committee leadership for distribution to their members. Please work with Sponsorship Coordinator Jen Shapiro if you have a sponsor interested in posting an article. Sponsored blog content should meet the following criteria:

• it should be accurate and honest;
• it should focus on a substantive issue and go beyond simply enumerating the sponsor’s virtues by exploring the issue in a meaningful way;
• it should deliver information of interest to the primary audience; and
• it should run no more than 750 words.
