I suspect Tyler's point about skillset is part of the explanation, but I would broaden it to include both skillset and interest. Blogging is a different world, and a lot of people who like the world of...

I suspect that you're right, Orin -- a different mindset as well as a different skillset. I think there's a testable hypothesis in there, no? Law professors who regularly blog should publish more...

My guess is that if you consider the group of law professors who blog, and who were lawprofs before they blogged, that group disproportionately consists of law professors who before they started...

It's definitely a different mindset. And it may be so for many reasons. To me, blogging has to be too contemporaneous. I.e., respond to an event shortly after it happens. But I don't have a great deal...

So, it looks like we’ve generated at least two research projects from this comments thread: (1) a publications comparison of bloggers and non-bloggers, and (2) the intellectual origins of the VC. Who’s...

I think that for many politically-oriented law profs, the rewards are more internal and therapeutic, i.e.: PERSON (often my wife): Jonathan, why do you spend your time blogging? ME: Because it beats...
