Two Major Posts are Coming

As I wrote here, my intentions were to start building my legal blog taxonomy online very soon. However, I will postpone this for a few days because of a couple of developments. Two posts are coming, not related to my taxonomy, which are significant. I do not want these two posts to be lost in the middle of a series of blog categories. I would prefer to keep them separate, so I will put them on my blog first before I start creating the taxonomy online. This means, however, that posting will be light until then.

Here are descriptions of the two upcoming posts:

1. I will soon make my notes available from Howard Bashman's presentation at OSU law school. Mr. Bashman discussed the history of How Appealing, the advantages of legal blogging, and the nature of appellate practice. Anyone who reads How Appealing regularly will enjoy his intriguing and insightful observations.

2. My Recent Development case note is ready for publication, and I will soon be receiving the final version. It will be posted in its entirety on my blog before print publication, and the blog post is identified as “Footnote 123” in my print article. This electronic online footnote, the last footnote in the print article, will allow me to keep my Recent Development continuously updated. My goal is to display how traditional legal scholarship can be blended with modern forms of communication. I will also modify the current content of Footnote 123, turning it into a succinct explanation of my footnote and a brief general introduction to my Recent Development. (I enjoy that my last footnote will serve as an introduction to my case note, and will also contain the note in its entirety before publication.)
