Oliphant cranks up the legal-reporting/blogging heat

By Mark Obbie

Chicago Tribune's law and Supreme Court reporter Jim Oliphant is blogging on his own now, rather than just at the Trib's Swamp blog. The blog is called Writ Large (cute). Prolific and playful (check out his introductory post Infrequently Asked Questions), Oliphant is worth keeping an eye (or an RSS feed) on. Which is easier to do now that the feed is a straight shot of Oliphant, rather than the mix at the Swamp. And he (along with Jan Greenburg and Tony Mauro) have now increased pressure on other SCOTUS beat reporters to get with the blogging program. (And why am I being so parenthetical in this post? I need an editor!)
