Law Professor Blogger Census (Beta Version 1.0)
How many law professor bloggers are out there? We thought we would attempt to take a census of current law professors who are blogging. Kaimi Wenger, Ethan Leib, and Dan Markel of PrawfsBlawg as well as Orin Kerr at VC all assisted me in this endeavor. We hope that this census will prove useful for discussing who is blogging, the “blogospherics” (demographics) of the bloggers, and the law schools that have heavy blogging populations. We note that there are many very interesting blawgs by lawyers and law students, but we have restricted this list to law professors -- otherwise the project would be too daunting. Additionally, blogs without activity over the past month were not included.
This is a beta version. There are probably many bloggers that we missed. Please email me about your blog if you were left out of this list or if you know of others we overlooked.
A few statistics:
· There are quite a lot of law professor bloggers – 103 in all.
· The schools with the largest amount of bloggers include San Diego (7), Cincinnati (4), George Mason (4), Ohio State (4), UCLA (4), GW (3), Stanford (3), St. Thomas (3), Chapman (3).
· Of the bloggers, 20 are female and 83 are male.

I'm another law professor blogger whom you missed. My blog site, MayerBlog, has been up since January 2004, at http://users.law.capital.edu/dmayer/Blog/
Incidentally, it would be interesting to know the political orientation of the law professors who blog, as it seems to me that a large number of us are libertarians.

You have inspired me to try to find faculty bloggers in other disciplines...my very early efforts are here, and it's clear I need help. Take a look and send me tips via trackback.

Surprised you missed me. I'm on the faculty at Villanova Law. I've been blogging at www.mauledagain.blogspot.com since early 2004. Mostly tax law.

Interestingly, there seems to be at least some overall tilt in a direction that I didn't expect -- most of the schools generally considered "higher-ranked" are represented on the list.
There are about 70 law schools overall listed in the chart and comments, or a little over 1/3 of total law schools.
However, higher-ranked schools have a much higher rate of representation. Of Leiter's top 20 schools, all but 5 are listed with at least one blogging professor. (The five holdouts are NYU, Penn, Virginia, USC and Vanderbilt).

Elizabeth Warren (Harvard) blogs at tpmcafe.com (successor to talkingpointsmemo.com, where she blogged as well).

You forgot my four fellow co-bloggers at the Legal Ethics Forum: John Steele (Boalt), Brad Wendel (Cornell), David Hricick (Mercer), and John Dzienkowski (U.T.). [And if visiting ass't profs count too, then there's also me (Hofstra)]

These numbers look much better than the SSRN top 100 - at least for the women law professors. I bet if you looked at seniority - we'd be a pretty junior bunch.

Erick,
Alex Tabarrock does not appear on GMU Law's faculty listing. Donald Bourdreaux does, and he will be listed. Thanks for the tip.

Missed two. Donald Boudreaux, head of the econ dept at George Mason and also teaches the intro law and & econ class for 1Ls at the law school. http://www.cafehayek.com
and Alex Tabarrock also of GMU, at http://marginalrevolution.com (Tyler Cowen also posts here), more an econ blog, but he also teaches an intro law & econ class at GMU law.
Posted by: Erick | Jun 13, 2005 9:16:23 AM
Note that Tyler Cowen _isn't_ a law professor- he's in the economics dept. at George Mason, and at least his own web page doesn't list him in the law school. Also, Seana Shiffrin, Law and Philosophy at UCLA, also blogs occasionally at Left 2 Right, as Does Neil Buchanan (Law- Rutgers/Newark)
