: Texas Appellate Law BlogMore on Judges and Blogs
By D. Todd Smith
At some level, every blog is built on shameless self-promotion. To that end, I'm happy to point out some attention generated by my recent post entitled Newsflash: Appellate Judges Read Blogs:
- The piece was picked up by the online version of the Wall Street Journal and mentioned over at the Sophistic Miltonian Serbonian Blog.
- The California Blog of Appeal's Greg May added to the discussion and has since posted a follow-up survey to get a feel for his readers' demographics.
- LexBlog's Kevin O'Keefe chimed in on Greg's survey and wrote his own piece, in which he predicted that "lawyers with well written blogs on niche litigation subjects are going to be called in as co-counsel on an appeal or brief" and further commented that "[t]he value of having a lawyer on your side whose material is regularly read by the court you're before is priceless."
Blogging has definitely helped me obtain broader exposure faster than any other medium could provide. Here's hoping that Kevin's prediction is accurate over the long haul.

Legal blogs: isn’t it time British lawyers staked their claim in the blogosphere
Should law firms have blogs? In America they are all the rage. Just about every self-respecting law professor has one, many firms believe them to be a must-have accoutrement, and even one or two judges have got in the act.
You can pick your judge . . .
In a couple of related articles, What the Judge Ate For Breakfast is soliciting comments on views about elected vs. selected judges here. And this is a Hutch News/AP article reporting that the Commission on Judicial Performance will be issuing its report on appellate and district judges subject to retention elections this cycle on August 29...
Are Judges Intuitive or Analytical Ruminations on the Cognitive Style of Judges
Are judges good at math? Foolish question, of course. Since many lawyers have a math phobia, it follows that many judges would, as well. Nevertheless, a group of academics gave a three-question quiz to a group of several hundred trial judges...
