Avvo responds to NJ Opinion

Last month I reported (here) that three committees of the New Jersey Supreme Court issued a joint opinion concluding that it would be unethical to participate in Avvo Legal Services.  A few days ago, Avvo's Chief Legal Officer posted a reply to the opinion in the blog Socially Awkward.  The reply is short and, in my opinion, weak.  All it does is repeat some of the arguments the opinion rejected.  It also gets the constitutional standard that applies to the commercial speech doctrine wrong (as I have pointed out in the past).

For some of my previous posts on Avvo go here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
