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.
