Omar Ha-Redeye was awarded the inaugural CLawBies Award for “Best Blogger in a Group Blog or Platform.”

As more veteran Canadian legal blog heavyweights are retired to our Clawbies Hall of Fame, we found ourselves wondering whether that might preclude some standout individuals from getting due credit. To that end, for the first time, we’re naming a “best blogger in a group blog or platform”. In the future this could be an individual blogger from a HOF group blog such as ABlawg, or someone publishing original content on CanLII Connects.

Identifying an inaugural winner in this category wasn’t hard. Slaw is blessed with so many quality writers. That said, selecting a standout like Omar Ha-Redeye is a choice few would argue. For the past decade, only Simon Fodden could be said to rival Omar both in volume and original thinking. While Slaw’s regular columnists contribute six bi-monthly columns, Omar’s presence is punctuated by fifty annual pieces as a blogger. Boom!
