Posted by Orin Kerr: All-Raich Super-Blog and the Future of Law Reviews: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2005_06_05-2005_06_11.shtml#1118122715
SCOTUSBlog's one-day experiment turning into an all-Raich super-blog [1]has ended. I thought it was really cool, in a turbo-law-geek sort of way. Indeed, I wonder if law reviews will get in the act and start hosting their own versions of this. It seems to me a fantastic opportunity for them to capitalize on the blog movement. If you're an editor, all you need to do is ask a bunch of blogger/lawprof types if they will blog on your journal's website the day a big case comes down. On the day of the big decision, you contact all of your authors and hand over the keys, er, passwords, and let them blog away. By the end of the day, your journal will be the host of a mini-symposium about the brand new case. Of course, you won't actually publish the contributions, but you can keep your mini-symposium online and available for future scholars to peruse. By the time the law reviews start publishing case comments and Supreme Court Term overviews, the blogged scholarship posted on your website will have framed the commentary long ago.
