There's No School Like Old School

Walter Olson's decade-old Overlawyered blog is, by most accounts, the original legal blog and is thus the forebear of not just Blawg Review but each and every blog collected in its weekly posts. It's fitting, then, to have Olson host Blawg Review #220 this week, marking his second go-around with hosting duties. This edition of the carnival of legal blogging is wide-ranging and highly-readable. Amongst the topics addressed are mobility during patriotic musical interludes at Yankee Stadium, unpersuasive administration spin on Judge Sotomayor's past professional practice, and Papal concern about intellectual property restrictions. H. Scott Leviant will host Blawg Review #221 at The Complex Litigator next Monday.
