Law Review Citations and Blogging

Ian Best at 3L Epiphany has posted a summary of law review articles that cite legal blogs. The list is 27 pages long and includes citations to over 70 legal blogs, including this one. If you scan this list you will see that blogs are cited in dozens of law reviews, including top ones like the Yale Law Journal, Stanford Law Review, University of Chicago Law Review, Michigan Law Review, Virginia Law Review, Cornell Law Review, etc.

Given that legal blogs are in their infancy, I will be more interested in seeing what this list looks like in a year or two. Some major law blogs, like Concurring Opinions, have be around for less time than it takes to edit a law review article.

Also in case you missed it, there is a conference at Harvard Law School on April 28, 2006 entitled Bloggership: How Blogs are Transforming Legal Scholarship. Should be quite interesting, with plenty of heavyweights from the legal blogging world speaking and submitting papers.
