Kentucky

Hopefully, you will have learned that the University of Louisville Law School's faculty is up and blogging.  This is an important development as I have always maintained there are two key elements of legal scholarship - depth of research and analysis and timeliness. 

If there was a mathematical equation available, it would seem the with time legal research would increase but relevancy lost while at the same time legal relevancy increases with quick postings but the depth of the citations and legal resources decreases as time passes. 

Law review articles are strong on scholarship but can be weak on timeliness.  Law blogs have the oppositive strengths and weaknesses as they are stronger on timeliness but pay a price in the depth of their research.  However, there is a happy medium between the two critical components that law blogs can meet as depth of legal research gives way to the analysis and timeliness of the postings.

To that end, I have been and will continue posting links to the UofL Law blogs by their faculty.  A good idea two months later is no longer a good idea if it is too late.  A good idea with quick analysis but no string citations can still be darn useful.  Furthermore, our law school faculties possess the scholarship, the wisdom, the analysis, the gravitas, the respect, and the time to provide input and analysis on current and developing legal issues in Kentucky that the typical practitioner can never possess, myself included.

As our courts, legislature, and governor grasp and grapple with legal issues, the faculty from each of our three law schools can offer priceless commentary and critical analysis in their various specialties which includes Kentucky concerns splattered with what has happened in other jurisdictions.

Our courts, our state, our lawyers, and our legislature do not possess a monopoly on legal concepts.  I, for one, am estatic that the UofL Law faculty is stepping out from their cloistered cells of academia and sharing their knowledge, their insight, and their concerns with the local community, citizens, and counsel.

Thank you, University of Louisville Law School!
