Slate Goes Live with Convictions

By Bill Gratsch

Hat tip to Blawg's Book Highlighter writer Randy Richardson, for pointing out Slate's new weblog focused on the legal world, Convictions. 

Convictions is clearly a collaborative effort along the lines of Between Lawyers, The Volokh Conspiracy and Concurring Opinions.  I was struck by the sheer number of posts already online (I guess content is king).  The weblog appears to have gone live on March 10th and yet already has pages of new posts.   Topics also appear by fairly diverse, which is one benefit of such collaborative efforts. 

Here is a sampling of recent headlines at Convictions:

The Wire and Jury Nullification: Why Lie?

A Terrible Day for John McCain

Why Gun Rights?

Heller's opportunity to put Law over Politics

Justice Scalia, Pragmatist
