Back into the “Blog Empire”…
…hence the new format. I was out at Pepperdine in lovely Malibu not long ago, and was chatting with the Blog Emperor himself who, among his other virtues, handles all the accounting and technical issues for his empire. (He also has better luck getting Wolters Kluwer to respond to inquiries!) Although the 'look' is new,…

“Why Tolerate Religion?” in the Harvard Law Review (March 2013)
A nice short notice: "Why Tolerate Religion? is a readable book that exposes several tenuous assumptions underlying the predominant justifications for religious exemptions.

Top Tweeting Law Profs
Yes, the site is trash. But now at least maybe we know the top 50 tweeting law professors. I particularly love the fact that the "top 50" list, carefully numbered from 1 to 50, is "in no particular order".

So You Want A Law School: Merger vs. Startup
If there's one thing that's clear, it's that lots of colleges and universities covet a law school. The reasons vary. For research universities, a law school serves to complete a portfolio. For smaller schools, it can place them on the map. And finally, there are a few schools that are simply built to make money. At the…

ABA Blawg Voting Ends…
…and Blog Emperor Caron, who seems to care about these things, has the results. The most striking thing about the results to my mind is this: although Blog Emperor Caron repeatedly harangued his readers to please, please, please vote for his blog, he garnered just 80 votes, while the proprietor of this blog, who never…
