2021 inductee to Clawbies Hall of Fame, David Whelan: The Hall of Fame recognizes the hard work of these authors and also makes space for new voices in the main awards. This year’s inductees will no longer be considered for annual Clawbies, but they are recognized with a Hall of Fame badge for their use, as well as a notation of the honour at lawblogs.ca.
 His blog, O’Faolain, has always delivered the best of what first person narrative has to offer. David “thinks and writes” in a fluid motion – about legal information services, workplace issues, or his comfort level with a vendor taking him out to lunch. We’re reminded that “blogging” gives glimpses inside the person we’re reading with real-world anecdotes we wouldn’t find in any other medium. A winner of eight Clawbie awards, including the Fodden Award in 2018, O’Faolain might be our most decorated HOF winner to date.
