Introduction

Welcome everyone. This is my first post on my new blog that will focus on legal developments, musings and ideas I run across as I go about my days as a new lawyer in New York. I hope to post about once a week initially and then up the frequency as time goes on. One of the main reasons I am starting this blog is to stimulate conversations about legal topics, so, I hope readers that visit my blog will be liberal with their comments.

Who am I? Like I said, I am a new lawyer in New York. I graduated from New York Law School in May 2008 and was admitted to practice in New York in May 2009. I am a litigation associate at a large firm in the City and I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn with my wonderful wife (also a blogger), Meredith, and my adorable one-year-old son.

I might as well start things off with a short list of some of my favorite legal blogs, since these are the places from which I will likely be getting many of the ideas I post about on here:

PrawfsBlawg (written mainly by law professors for other law professors, but a great place to find interesting questions by people who are very passionate about legal issues)

SCOTUSBlog (a very thorough and insightful analysis of the latest goings ons at the Supreme Court)

Balkinization (a fascinating blog in general, but I am especially interested in the on-going discussions about The Constitution in 2020 Project, which tries to flesh out a liberal vision of the Constitution in the year 2020)

Does anyone have any other suggestions for interesting legal blogs?
