Today is the official launch of Jotwell: The Journal of Things We Like (Lots), a new online law journal that I am editing. At Jotwell you will find leading academics and practitioners providing short reviews of recent scholarship related to the law that the reviewer likes and thinks deserves a wide audience. We launch with a great set of original contributions spanning a wide range of legal topics.
Jotwell is a special type of law review housed on a set of inter-linked blogs. As a law review, Jotwell has only one mission: to bring to readers' attention great recent scholarship related to the law. As a blog, Jotwell invites your comments.
We have an amazing team of superb contributors, whose names are listed in the sections:
- Administrative Law
- Constitutional Law
- Corporate Law
- Criminal Law
- Cyberlaw
- Intellectual Property Law
- Legal Profession
- Tax Law
On the Jotwell main page you should expect new content once or twice a week, although as we add more sections contributions may become more frequent. Each of the subject-specific sections will have something new at least once a month. In any case, every time a new review appears in any of the subject-specific sections, an excerpt with a link to the full text will also appear there.
There are three ways to read Jotwell.
- You can visit the main Jotwell page, which aggregates all the sections; or you can sample just the sections you like, choosing from the list in the right column.
- If you use a newsreader, you can sign up for the RSS feed for the main Jotwell section, or select among the feeds for the subject sections by choosing the link to the RSS feed found in each section.
- Or, if you prefer to get your updates by e-mail, you can click here to request a message every time we have new article, or click on the email link found in every subject section for a more tailored, and less frequent, reminder.
Congrats! I remember when this idea was first hatched back when I was your RA.
Have you considered asking any of the editors of “CreditSlips dot org” (I tried to link to the URL, but it was rejected by the comment spam filter) to serve as Jotwell editors for credit and bankruptcy law? Hot topics of late, of course, and I think they would fit in well.
