Off to talk about blogging…
This morning I’m off to Boston for this exciting conference at Harvard Law School on blogs and legal scholarship — entitled “Bloggership: How Blogs Are Transforming Legal Scholarship.” The interesting papers for the conference, including my contribution, can be accessed at this special SSRN page.
