Blawgs R Us - Cool! Microsoft nemesis (and Stanford professor) Lawrence Lessig has a blog. Maybe it's just my naive impression, but it seems like law professors have been on forefront of "expert blogging." (We can't count political commentators, who generally are not experts at anything except mouthing off). Just as the Internet allows common folk like us to read the source material and decide for ourselves, having access to legal eagles means know you can pierce the spin cloud and find out what the law says and how policy prescriptions by pundits and politicians would change things in the real world. Personally, I'm gonna miss the SEC law blog that Broc Romanek used to write for R.R. Donnelly's website, but he's moved on to greener pastures. Maybe I can get the firm to pony up for a membership.
