Blogging by Davis Law Professors

Davis law professors provide authoritative information and critical analysis on legal subjects through a number of Web logs. The number of Web logs, also known as blogs and sometimes as blawgs when law-related, written by law professors, law students, judges, and lawyers, has continued to grow over the past decade.

The well-known Law Professor Blogs, a network of blogs maintained by law professors, has become a fast and effective medium of communication for legal scholars and lawyers. Professors of law and immigration law scholars, Jennifer Chacon, Bill Hing, and Kevin Johnson, edit ImmigrationProf Blog, a leading Web site on immigration law. Professor Anupam Chander, a scholar in cyberlaw and international law, co-edits Law School Innovation, which was featured in a Wall Street Journal technology report on blogs to watch.

In addition, Professor Chander writes a personal blog, which provides commentary on globalization and digitization. Professor Holly Doremus, a specialist in environmental law, contributes to Biolaw, a blog on law and the life sciences. Professor Emeritus John Ayer provides commentary on a number of topics on his personal blog Underbelly.

The following is a listing of the UC Davis School of Law Blogs as of January 3, 2007.

ImmigrationProf Blog:
Professors Johnson, Chacon, and Hing are editors in an immigration blog that assists law professors in their scholarship and teaching. The site focuses on immigration and provides regularly updated permanent resources and links, and daily news and information of interest to law professors.

The new blog, co-edited by Professor Anupam Chander, was featured November 27, 2006, in a Wall Street Journal technology report on blogs to watch. The blog, launched in late October, is devoted to the topic of law-school innovators. Among the topics discussed thus far: innovative course offerings at law schools, the changes made to Harvard's first-year curriculum, and the relationship between law-school innovation and school rankings by U.S. News & World Report.
