Law blogs.

Classified. Do you want your blogs classified?

Now that you mention it, I dislike the West Key Number System.

Before I went to law school I had a day job that consisted of classifying everything in various magazines. Everything had to go in one and only one category.

Basically, with blogging, I like unclassfiable blogs the best, and for my own blogging, I'm interested to see what will strike me as bloggable next.

Still, "Law and Culture" gives you a lot of latitude.

Ian: I like blogs that reflect an author's interests, especially where there is potential for continual surprise. I like a blogger who seems to be a full person, living in public, through the blog, not someone who is trying to improve his professional standing.

To classify is an irresistible human impulse.

It's also often fruitless and counterproductive.


Much like my comment. ;)

With my background, when you say "classified" I think of something very different. I would instead use the term "categorized."

Or perhaps "pigeonholed" if I wanted to be negative about it.

I discovered that a branch of my law firm [rather, the law firm for which I work] has a blog. Way cool!

Please use the comments forum to respond to the post. Don't fight with each other. Be substantive... or interesting... or funny. Comments should go up immediately... unless you're commenting on a post older than 2 days. Then you have to wait for us to moderate you through. It's also possible to get shunted into spam by the machine. We try to keep an eye on that and release the miscaught good stuff. We do delete some comments, but not for viewpoint... for bad faith.
