Steve Matthews of Stem Legal has announced the winners of the Canadian Law Blog Awards for 2008.

Congratulations to the winners!

For the second year in a row that includes me. Once again, Steve bestowed a Friend of the North Award, as a U.S. blogger that looks north of the border to network and exchange ideas. I am honored to share this award with Mary Abraham of Above and Beyond KM (newly re-launched at www.aboveandbeyondkm.com).

I was happy to see Jordan Furlong’s Law21 as the winner of best Canadian Law Blog. He has wonderful insight into the practice and business of law.

It was tough to beat out SLAW with its all star line-up of contributors, including Jordan. They did not go home empty-handed. SLAW grabbed the CLawBie Legal Culture Award and Best Legal Technology Award.

The delightful Connie Crosby picked up the Non-legal Audience Award CLawBie for her Connie Crosby blog and micro-blogging on Twitter.

Those also happened to be my three nominees for CLawbies.

Steve Matthews was kind enough to not only award me a CLawBie, but to actually put together an award badge.

Now I can clear my shelf, waiting for the trophy to arrive.

Maybe a trophy like this:

Since the award is from Canada, it may be more like this:
