Some lawyers have contributed so greatly to Avvo Legal Guides, which aim to help people understand everyday legal issues, that even the Avvo Content Girl (who prefers candlelight to limelight) must come out of her soundproofed editing room from time to time and publicly acknowledge them. Jon Mitchell Jackson is one of those lawyers.

Within a few days of the launch of our lawyer-published How-To Legal Guides, Mr. Jackson contributed a whopping 41 guides, and continues to churn them out a remarkable rate (the latest count is 75, but I have a feeling he won’t let up until he’s submitted at least 100).

Also notable is the sheer breadth of topics these guides cover. Wondering about how drug testing for Olympic athletes works? Jon knows. Need information about S Corporations? Jon’s got it covered. He even has advice for his fellow lawyers.

As steward of Avvo Legal Guides, Content Girl is grateful to Mr. Jackson for blazing the trail and setting the bar for volume so high. She also hopes this stands as an example (or challenge, perhaps?) to those of you who think you don’t have time to submit a How-To Legal Guide. It takes just a few minutes to create one (you’ll need to log in first) and it doesn’t have to be a tome. Feel free to keep it simple. If Jon can do 75, I have all faith that you can do one or two. (Please just watch your spelling and go easy on the Caps Lock key, for Content Girl’s sake.)
