Law Professor Blogger Census

1940_US_Census_PosterOver at theracetothebottom.org, Jay Brown of the University of Denver has a new listing of law professors who blog.  This is part of an extensive project he's working on regarding the impact of blogging on the legal academy.  I wrote some about this on Saturday and you may be interested in the paper  "Law Faculty Blogs and Disruptive Innovation: The Data" Jay has up on ssrn.

One thing that I'd be interested in seeing is the data re-ordered from school name to the U.S. News peer assessment rank of the school; I think that would convey well — and easily — how the distribution of bloggers are distributed.  There's a ton of interesting data that one could add to this study — like age, time in the academy, and areas of teaching and research for bloggers.  I continue to be mightily interested in the phenomon of blogging and continue to wonder why people blog.  I think this data can really help us get at some interesting issues.
