Norm Kent Debuts ‘Broward Law Blog’
Renowned Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney Norm Kent released today the debut of ‘The Broward Law Blog,’ easily accessible on the Internet at www.browardlawblog.com
A South Florida attorney for 30 years, Mr. Kent is well known for his long time experience as the highly rated morning drive talk show host for WFTL-850 AM. He later hosted a weekly radio show entitled ‘Weekend Legal’ on WWNN-1470 AM.
Kent says that the Broward Law Blog is designed to give “provide the every day person with insight into what really goes on with courts, law and justice.” Kent adds that his goal is to fashion a blog about crime and justice in Broward County and the world. “I want to spark people’s conscience; to make them care about justice.”
Noted for his fierce passion and devotion to civil rights and the first amendment, Kent also founded and published in 1999 the very first credible LGBT weekly newspaper in Broward County, The Express Gay News. He is currently is the publisher of www.nationalgaynews.com, reviewed as a ‘USA Today’ for gays. “That is what I hope the Broward Law Blog becomes: a USA Today for Law,” Kent stated.
A trial attorney who practices in South Florida and the United States District Courts, Kent also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, authoring columns about drug law reform on www.counterpunch.org, a liberal political online newsletter.
The Broward Law Blog features not only commentaries on pending first and fourth amendment issues, but daily editorial cartoons, reader comments, and articles reflecting on the oddities of jurisprudence.
Kent’s initial commentaries on The Broward Law Blog have ranted against apathy and indifference in the judiciary and within the Broward County criminal justice system. When not publishing the blog, Kent operates his law office from the AutoNation Tower in Fort Lauderdale, with his partner, Russell Lonnie Cormican, directly opposite the courthouse at 110 S.E. 6th Street. Their telephone number is 954 763 1900, and they provide legal services throughout the State of Florida.
Celebrating his thirtieth year of practice in 2009, Kent has in the past been a guest commentator on CNN and legally oriented national television talk shows. Previously, he has served as an Assistant Professor at Florida Atlantic University and won numerous awards for legal service from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Persons with AIDS Coalition, and Florida NORML.
“The Broward Law Blog is a chance for a public citizen to step up to the plate and reveal the underlying secrets of the legal community; to maybe rattle some cages and open some doors,” Kent stated.
