Legal Commentary

It's the end of the year, and the onset of the new one. PrawfsBlawg had a good year: our visitor traffic is about 30-40% higher than it used to be in 2007. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

And things are only getting better. I'm very pleased to say that Jay Wexler has agreed to stay on at Prawfs through June, enlightening us with his twisted and deviant notions. For the new month, some of our friends from December will be staying on, and we will be welcoming back our friends Hadar Aviram (Hastings) and Jonathan Simon (Berkeley Law, aka Boalt). We still have some places available for our Spring 2009 schedule for guest bloggers, so if you're a prawf (or about to be one), and you're interested, please let me know.

Last, if you'll be in San Diego next week, please resolve to mark your calendar for January 8th, Thursday at 9pm. Along with our friends from Concurring Opinions and Empirical Legal Studies Blog, we'll be meeting in the Lobby Lounge of the Marriott where the AALS conference will be. Arrive early enough and it's a good chance that you'll be able to take advantage of our extremely generous friends over at Indiana University Maurer School of Law -- Bloomington. They're buying the first couple hundred drinks. In fact, if I can get Bill Henderson and his friends there sufficiently liquored up, I might just sell this blog to them...at the right price.

Happy New Year everybody!
