Why a Narrowly Defined Legal Scholarship Blog Is Not What I Want: An Argument in Pseudo-Blog Form

Author: Ann Althouse (University of Wisconsin-Madison)

Abstract

Written in the form of a blog, this paper highlights the creative and communicative benefits of blogging, in particular legal blogging. This comment argues that aside from being intrinsically rewarding, blogging offers a concise scholarly model addressing a wider-ranger of topics. In this way, the paper claims that blogging has the potential for self-discovery and innovation in a way that legal scholarship might not.
