Academic

Thanks to the editors of the ABA Journal for listing The Conglomerate among the 100 best law blogs. This is the Third Annual ABA Journal Blawg 100, and The Conglomerate has appeared on all three lists. We have never been a top contender in the voting portion of this promotion, but for me the value of the list is that it introduces me to new law blogs.

Apparently, I am not alone. I first learned of the list from a reader who received a hard copy of The ABA Journal, but shortly thereafter I noticed a (small) flurry of subscriptions to our Twitter feeds. I couldn't make sense of that until I saw the entry for us on the Blawg 100 site:

Legal Theory

For those looking for more than just casual musings and rants, these academics provide substance over sensation.

Conglomerate, aka The Glom, is a group effort by academics who emphasize, however loosely, business, law, economics and the catchall?society.

Quick Take: The Glom has hosted a Junior Scholars Workshop since 2005 as a way to mentor untenured law professors and those just entering law school teaching.

We take some pride in our promotion of junior business law scholars, so I am happy that the editors noticed. One of these days, I am going to have one of the those junior scholars explain how they follow blogs on Twitter. I am still using Google Reader.
