Baby Blogs

It appears that the new status symbol for moms is a baby blog. Two examples from our friends Alex and Lara and Erin and Josh. My wife reads them regularly. But she doesn’t read my blogs, which (I must confess)…

New Blog: Empirical Legal Studies

Congratulations to my colleague Jason Czarnezki on the launch of his new blog, the Empirical Legal Studies blog. According to its first post, “the ELS blog will advance productive and interdisciplinary discourse among empirical legal scholars.” Good luck!
