Open Invitation for Additions to Taxonomy
I have created this post so that readers can suggest additions and improvements to my Taxonomy of Legal Blogs. Readers can use the Comments feature at the bottom of this post for:
- adding legal blogs that are missing from the taxonomy (please feel free to recommend categories for these blogs);
- suggesting that legal blogs currently included in the taxonomy belong in different or additional categories;
- suggesting that legal blogs which were purposely omitted from the taxonomy should be included (see the posts here);
- suggesting that entirely new categories of legal blogs should be added, or that existing categories should be changed or subdivided; and
- providing updates about legal blogs which have a new URL, or have become inactive.
The taxonomy was originally limited to American and Canadian legal blogs. But readers who wish to recommend legal blogs from other countries may do so here. Interested readers should also visit the global Observatory of the Legal Blogosphere.
The taxonomy does not include law student blogs. Rather than posting them here in the comments, readers should go to Clever WoT’s excellent Law Student Blogger Directory. Any omissions can be added there.
Here is an initial list of legal blogs that will be added to my taxonomy after the Bar is over:
- iBlawg (Duke Univ.)
Readers can add more legal blogs and suggest other improvements in the comments below. This post will thus become a continuation of the taxonomy. Thanks in advance to all who participate.

This is a very interesting (and useful) project that you have undertaken. I would call your attention to an additional legal blog published by our firm, Branham & Day. The site is www.dayontorts.com. It is a site devoted to the ongoing development of tort law, especially in the state of Tennessee. The site is authored by our founding partner John Day.
[Day on Torts is listed under Tort Law, one of the Specialty Blogs categories. However, it has not yet been added to Tennessee, under State Blogs. - 3LE]

[Comment removed. Art Leonard's blog is in the taxonomy already, under Civil Liberties Law (under Specialty Blogs). - 3LE]

From an email:
Counterfeit Chic, www.counterfeitchic.com, probably belongs in the IP-General list rather than just the IP-Copyright list, since it deals extensively with trademark and some patent law as well as copyright.
You might add Uncivil Society, www.uncivilsociety.com, a law prof blog dealing with nonprofit law and NGOs. In fact, you might consider a Nonprofit Law or NGO Law category.

Hi there. I run a blog on pharmaceutical patent law, called Orange Book Blog (www.orangebookblog.com). It could go into IP-Patent and/or into a new category, "Food and Drug Law." Thanks.

FYI--my blog, Sui Generis, is already in the taxonomy under NY blogs.
[Fixed. Thanks, Nicole! -3LE]

I run a blog exclusively devoted to South Carolina law. My blog, Carolina Petitioner, is at http://carolinapetitioner.blogspot.com/

Hi -- My blog "Lowering the Bar" (www.loweringthebar.net) is classified under the "general" heading, which is fine but it probably should also be classified under "humor." At least, it's SUPPOSED to be funny.
Thanks again --
Kevin

Thank you for doing this.

Hi. I'd appreciate if you'd list my blog, www.njdomesticpartnership.com, which covers the law of domestic partnership and issues related to legal protection of same-sex couples.
Thanks, and good luck on the bar!

I'm wondering if your taxonomy accounts in some way for the fact that some blogs are not *exclusively* law blogs. For instance, I have a blog with one co-blogger; he's a law professor, but I'm an economist, and both of us regularly post on both legal and non-legal matters. I can see our blog is already included; I'm just curious as to whether you tried to take the mixed-topic-area and mixed-contributor-type factors into account, or if you just included any blog with legal content of any measurable frequency.

I would add the Sports Law Blog to "law professor blogs", in that three of its permanent contributors (and many guests) are law professors.
Also, some of the categories have numbers attached to the lists -- e.g., 1-20. I know those number don't mean to imply any sort of rank, and that the blogs are listed alphabetically -- but I would just list them with "dots" as you do elsewhere.

The Art Law Blog by Donn Zaretsky at John Silberman Associates should be added. Have you thought of a career as a law librarian? This is a great project.

You are doing a fine job. I can see that finding a slot for my blog might be difficult. You could use one of the categories on my blog. "In Your Face" might work. But, "The Latest Baddest" has a certain ring. Or, "Gaming The System."
Maybe you just need a new section for attorneys who admit to being greedy. It might end up being either extremely small or large. Who knows?

Our blog relates to topics of interest to Arizona victims who have suffered a loss due to the negligence of another person or entity. We write on a variety of topics ranging from product liability to insurance matters, medical malpractice, automobile collisions, and identity theft.

Great site! I wanted to point you to my blog - "Blogging Biodiversity" at http://kathryn.garforthmitchell.net
It probably fits best under the environmental law category although I also deal with intellectual property.

Just wanted to call your attention to another new blog -- Fraud & Corruption File (http://fraudandcorruption.blogspot.com). As the name suggests, it covers all manner of white collar crime as well as political corruption and other topics of interest.

We have a great blog written by attorney David Rossmiller who is passionate about insurance coverage--www.insurancecoverageblog.com Please add it to your list.

Hi Ian,
I noticed that you added a foreign law category to your taxonomy site. Sure hope you'll add my blog (Australian legal research & KM) to that category or to the law librarian category. I have a steady number of people viewing my blog at this time.
Cheers,
Robyn
