This is a diversion from our regular personal injury and litigation news, but I saw Kevin O’Keefe had a post earlier this week that Austin was the top blogging city in the country. If that’s the case, why are there so few law blogs in town. Aside from this one, the only active law blogs I know of are the following:

Todd Smith’s Texas Appellate Law Blog

Jamie Spencer’s Austin Criminal Defense Lawyer and Austin DWI Lawyer blogs

Wayne Schiess’s Legalwriting.net blog

Michael Fox’s Jottings By An Employer’s Lawyer

Don Cruse’s Supreme Court of Texas blog

Taralynn Mackay’s A Nurse Attorney’s Thoughts and Texas Nursing Jurisprudence blogs

In a town this size, with this many tech-savvy attorneys, I would expect more blogs. And if I left any active blogs off, please let me know (and yes, there are other old blogs or "blogs" that are just advertisements, that I didn’t include — I don’t need to know about them).

Thanks for the mention, Brooks. I saw Kevin's post, too. Austin must have ranked #1 primarily because we have a lot of lawyers reading blogs as opposed to writing them. I wouldn't mind seeing more Austin law bloggers, either.

if you count professors, there are a few at UT. The primary and most prolific one is Brian Leiter (http://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/) although he's moving to Chicago. I think a couple others on the faculty might be associated w/ Paul Caron's network of prof bloggers.
