IP Democracy: WSJ Launches Law Blog

Blue-chip publishers are starting to catch on to the blogging phenomenon — not the “gives us your comments” type of blogging, but real writing by journalists who know the subject matter. The latest example: the Wall Street Journal has launched a law blog staffed by a former Goldman Sachs litigator Peter Lattman.

The blog not only sifts through the legal-related press and “culls the best writing from around the web” but it also has some interesting original features, such as items devoted to law firm management and hand-picked news and headlines from Nexis-Lexis. It’s hard to tell if a such a traditional publication can produce an interesting blog, but kudos to the Journal for trying. (Hat tip to Editor and Publisher.)
