Jotwell: keeping up with the “best” in legal scholarship
Posted: November 3rd, 2009 by ncascio

Jotwell: The Journal of Things We Like (Lots)

This new law journal in blog format features short reviews of recent scholarship related to the law.  Leading academics and practitioners select articles they like and think deserve a wide audience. Jotwell is technically a union of multiple subject blogs, each with its own expert editors.
Jotwell’s mission: “to bring to readers’ attention great recent scholarship related to the law.” Jotwell is seeking reviews of recent legal literature that makes an original contribution. Comments and discussion are invited. In the future additional subjects will be added, but current Jotwell foci include:
  • Administrative Law
  • Constitutional Law
  • Corporate Law
  • Criminal Law
  • Cyberlaw
  • Intellectual Property Law
  • Legal Profession<
  • Tax Law
To keep up with new Jotwell postings, subscribe to e-mail notifications or RSS feeds.
For more information about Jotwell, see the FAQs.
