I am embarrassed to admit this, but following in the footsteps of recent newspaper scandals, we here at The Volokh Conspiracy have done comprehensive background checks on all our bloggers and discovered that . . . Sasha Volokh is not really my brother. Yes, that’s right, it turns out that his brother credentials had been forged — our parents bought off — photographs changed and memories hypnotically implanted — and we therefore must remove him from the blog.
Well, actually, we must remove him from the blog because he is about to enter the No-Blog Zone of Judicial Clerking (for Judge Alex Kozinski), much like the one that our own Orin Kerr is currently lost in (he’s clerking for Justice Kennedy). But I thought the fraud scandal would make for a more dramatic story.
(There’s no firm no blogging rule for judicial clerks, but it’s probably a good idea for clerks to keep a low public profile while they’re clerking — especially when they’re blogging on fairly prominent law-related blogs — so the No-Blog Zone is the safer route.)
