Why We Take Our Words Seriously: The Jurist Journal by Edelstein Law
PHILADELPHIA, PA | July 14, 2025 Written by: Matthew Edelstein | Chief Technology Officer - Edelstein Law
At Edelstein Law, our Jurist Journal isn’t just another law firm blog. It’s a trusted legal information resource for individuals and families in Philadelphia, across Pennsylvania, and throughout New Jersey. We craft every article with the same care we devote to a client’s legal matter—because we believe legal knowledge should be clear, accessible, and grounded in public service, not self-promotion.
As writer Tom Critchlow once noted, blogging is “a powerful mixture of creative expression and finding the others.” For us, those “others” are often people facing uncertainty after a serious injury or traumatic event. We write for them—before they ever pick up the phone.
Legal Blogging as a Public Resource
Thoughtful legal content builds trust. That’s why the Jurist Journal prioritizes clarity, accuracy, and practical value for readers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey who may be looking for help after a car accident, slip and fall, workplace injury, or another unexpected event.
What we do:
· Break down complex legal topics like personal injury law, premises liability, and insurance claims into everyday language.
Why we do it:
· To lower the barrier between understanding your rights and acting—especially during a crisis.
Seeing Personal Injury Law with Fresh Eyes
Legal writing shouldn’t be dry or overly technical. We treat personal injury law the way a good field guide treats unfamiliar terrain—by highlighting key information, pointing out common pitfalls, and showing readers how to navigate confidently.
Example: When Pennsylvania updated its comparative fault rules, we didn’t just cite the statute—we published a one-page explainer with examples and next steps for injury victims. Whether you live in Philadelphia or commute from South Jersey, you deserve to know how these changes might affect your case.
Knowledge, You Hope You Never Need—But Might
No one plans to search “What to do after a trucking accident in New Jersey” or “Who’s liable in a Philadelphia slip and fall case.” But when that moment comes, Jurist Journal is here to help.
We routinely cover topics such as:
Immediate steps to take after an accident or injury
How to collect and preserve important evidence
Filing deadlines and notice requirements in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
How contingency fees work and what they mean for your finances
Our goal is to provide actionable legal guidance—not sales pitches or generic legal advice.
Transparency Builds Trust
We believe that legal information should be public, not privileged. That’s why every article on the Jurist Journal includes:
· Clear next steps you can take on your own
· Credible resources for further reading
· A disclaimer noting that our articles provide general information—not legal advice tailored to your situation
By sharing what we know, we help people feel more informed and less overwhelmed—even if they never become a client.
A Standing Invitation
If something in our articles sparks a question, we encourage you to contact us. And if you never need a personal injury lawyer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey—even better. We’ll continue to maintain and expand the Jurist Journal to keep critical legal knowledge freely available to the communities we serve.
At Edelstein Law, we believe blogging—done right—transforms confusion into clarity and builds a community that knows its rights and how to protect them.
