| My "best" list of law blogs |
|

So I got roped into this group hug, and now must (?) disclose my list of 10 favorite law blogs. You'll notice that I go for the Romeneskos of the law world -- the news digests that save me from having to comb a ridiculous number of news sites myself. I'll look at commentary now and then, but nothing regularly, at least nothing classified as a blog (which, in my view, excludes the smart reporting-based legal commentary by Slate's Dahlia Lithwick). Opinions are cheap. Give me some originally reported facts! (Strange to say, coming from an opinion blog, but there you have it.) Now, my list:
Howard Bashman's How Appealing: All the legal news that's fit to print. Thanks to him, the rest of us get one-stop shopping. It's almost a relief when he takes a day off.
SCOTUSblog: I've been accused of having a journalistic crush on Lyle Denniston. Guilty as charged! Original reporting always wins my heart over, and Denniston is still a marvel of energy and smarts after a half a century on the Supreme Court beat.
Jan Crawford Greenburg's Legalities: For those of us enjoying a severe TV deficit in our diets, this blog tells what TV's most committed legal reporter is up to.
Roger Parloff's Legal Pad: The Fortune writer is a monster reporter and entertaining writer (in a wildly brainy sort of way).
Investigative Reporters & Editors Extra! Extra! : Dopey name, and not all about legal reporting, but a good way to spot enterprising work beyond the usual national news outlets.
Crime & Justice News Report: Ted Gest and his Criminal Justice Journalists at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice do a superb, energetic job daily in spotting and summarizing news from newspapers and other news outlets of all sizes.
BLT: Blog of Legal Times: A good way to keep up with the best in legal journalism (that being Legal Times), including Tony Mauro's Supreme Court coverage.
Overlawyered: My first blog experience, and still a good way of keeping up with the torts debate and other litigation issues, though I find myself believing maybe only half the spin that Walter Olson, et al., put on everything.
Carolyn Elefant's Legal Blog Watch: This Law.com feature is a reliable best-of, for those of us with not enough time on our hands to monitor the sites ourselves.
Robert Ambrogi's LawSites: Serves a function similar to Legal Blog Watch (and overlaps it, with Ambrogi posting on both). Bob's knowledge of the law firm world and the Web makes his take on things worth listening to.
Not a terribly original list, but I don't have time (or make the time) to treat blog-harvesting as an end in itself. It's simply a great way to use others as issue-spotters and news digesters.
