Volokh on Academic Legal Blogging

Prof Volokh mentioned some of the criteria he uses to determine whether to blog on current events. It might also be a useful guide for practitioners and students to decide what to mention in their blawgs. One shouldn't underestimate the amount of time it takes to write a thoughtful analysis on a particular topic, but then it doesn't take as much effort to accumulate resources for your particular research interests. Some groups I'm involved in, like the ABA Cyberspace Law committee, use blogs to report on the progress of their meetings for those who are unable to attend.

If you're new to blogging, take a look at some of the services available, like Blogger and MSN Spaces, that can get you up and running quickly and, best of all, FOR FREE. Try it!
