Weekly Law Blog Roundup

I'm really pleased to announce Civil Procedure weblog by my good friend Sherry Fowler. Actually, her real name is "Scheherazade" but I guess that's too long for some people so she goes by the shorter name, Sherry, too. I met Sherry last year at PopTech, which is a wonderful conference on technology that takes place in Camden, Maine every year in October. This year Larry Lessig and a host of other tech luminaries will be in attendance, along with people like Sherry and I.

Anyway, Sherry is a bankruptcy lawyer with a passionate interest in technology and how it is changing our lives. So, I was very pleased when she decided to start a weblog. I think you'll find it interesting too.

Dave Fishel is a lawyer in Dallas, I believe. It's funny that I don't know exactly where David is located. Why? Because he is a co-author with me of the PDF for Lawyers weblog that I started a while back. When I recently asked if anyone wanted to help post to that weblog Dave sent me an email, and I gave him a backstage pass and he's been posting some great stuff. In one of his first posts there he announced he had a weblog called Braced for Impact. Who knew?

I obviously didn't. But it's a great weblog and he's a great writer and very knowledgeable about technology and the law. I still think it is wonderfully bizarre that I know a lot about Dave in one sense, but then I don't really know where he lives exactly. Hey, he lives in the blogosphere like me. Great place. And no property taxes. Yet...

Turning now to the academic sphere, we have Stephen Bainbridge a UCLA law professor and colleague of Eugene ('careful with that blog') Volokh. Stephen's blog is called Corporation Law and Economics. Wisely sensing the efficiencies of the market, Stephen moved his blog to a TypePad hosted site after a brief foray with this site at Blogger. An economics guy knows that when you get something for free it's worth every penny. Stephen describes his new blog as "A corporate governance and law blog, with notes on politics and wine." Wine is good.

No seriously, though, it is great to have another weblog devoted to corporate law. Stephen's site has a list of other links to weblogs devoted to corporate law. I'm not sure that there were any coporate law blogs a year ago (certainly not a year and a half ago). Now we have at least four. Ain't the blawgosphere grand?

The Curmudgeonly Clerk has been around, but it has moved and that link there is the new one. This is a weblog described thusly: "the unsolicited caveats, commentary and criticism of a Federal Law Clerk." It looks like CC is another refugee from Blogger, which is losing people at an alarming rate. CC is using Movable Type and has an XML feed. Congratulations to CC, who in fine gentlemanly fashion says that he appreciated his tenure with Blogger/Blogspot. Great guy. Stop by and drop off some blog-warming gifts.

Last but not (as we lawyers say) 'de minimus', is the weblog of Ed Poll titled LawBiz Management. He's using Radio as his blog tool, which means he has an XML feed. So drop by and add his site to your aggregator and then come back again next week for some more blawg annoucements. Or come back sooner if you'd like...
