Chasing the client-chasers: a new blog (via Childs) is apparently going to devote itself to exposing bad practices among the many law firm marketing sites that present themselves as dispensing objective information about mesothelioma, the asbestos-linked cancer. Often it's only in the fine print (if indeed there) that the sites disclose that they are not actually sponsored by a medical charity, patient advocacy group, or research foundation, as their manner of presentation might otherwise suggest. The blog's author is listed as Theodore Stevens, not further identified.
