Law Faculty Blogs and the State of the Blogosphere: Faculty Who Are Actively Blogging (June 2012)

Putting together a list of all  law faculty blogs and law faculty bloggers is a surprisingly difficult task.  There is no single repository for law faculty blogs.  A starting point was a list of law faculty blogs compiled in 2009.  Many of these blogs, however, are inactive or are not the types of blogs included in this list.

There are other law faculty blogs that began before the founder began teaching at a law school. Patently O is an example.  FCPA Professor was started by Mike Koehler who began the blog while teaching at a business school before joining the faculty at Southern Illinois law school. These blogs are included in the count. 

In addition, identifying all law faculty blogs (those started and operated by law faculty) will not reveal all of the law faculty who blog.  Some write on other types of law blogs.  Thus, for example, there are law faculty who contribute to SCOTUS, a law blog sponsored by Bloomberg.   

The list is also complicated by the fact that law faculty blogs often list multiple contributors, some of whom no longer write.  To be included in this list, a faculty member had to write at least four posts since Jan. 1, 2012.

As a result, apologies are in order for anyone omitted.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any corrections (as some have done already).  I will make changes accordingly. 

The aggregate data on the number of law faculty who blog has been remarkably consistent.  Census data on the number of persons blogging in August 2007 put the number at 308, little changed from an earlier study.  The study reflected in this data shows that there were 302 law faculty who were actively blogging in June 2012.  Moreover, as earlier studies have shown, there is a gender difference in those who blog.  The data shows that around 70% of the bloggers are male. 

For those who want a look at a complete version of the data, it can be found at Law Faculty Blogs and Disruptive Innovation: the Data.  We again emphasize that there may well be errors in this data and hope that anyone who finds some mistakes will send in the corrections.  The list will be accordingly updated.  It has been most recently updated on August 12, 2012.
