Shari Shapiro is fastidious in her evaluation and explanation of green building legal issues. Her blog is part legal advice, part social justice, and she writes in a clean, effective, and illustrative legal vernacular. Shapiro is highly respected in the green building community, and has a keen awareness of the specific elements of certain discussions that may need more clarification for the layman. That said, her concerns are complex and highly technical, so this blog is not an easy read. Some context for the societal ills to which she refers are helpful in understanding the mechanics of her proposed solutions. In all that green legalese, however, there is some humor to be found. I particularly liked the "Back Pain Edition," not because I wish Ms. Shapiro ill, but because it demonstrated her ability to step back from her lawyer identity into a blogger identity, one that is conscious of its interface with its readers.
