Larry Solum, who is one of the most insightful commentators on papers I've ever met, is liveblogging on the Legal Theory Blog from the Harvard Bloggership Conference. He even posted several times from the podium while others were presenting.
Ann Althouse, another of my favorite bloggers, is also live-blogging the conference.
The link for the live broadcast is here.
UPDATE: In Larry Solum's online comment on my comment on the panel, Solum wrote:
Lindgren points out that most legal scholarship is not on SSRN--which he says focuses on law and economics. (I'm not sure that is right--especially not today.)
Lindgren then discussed his own exerience with his investigation of the scholarship in Arming America : The Origins of a National Gun Culture by Michael Bellesiles. One of the points that Lindgren made is that a blog post by Glenn Reynolds had a tremendous impact on the dissemination of his article. Publication in the Yale Law Journal, Lindgren observes, hardly created a ripple, but the blogs resulted in more than 50,000 downloads of his article.
Just to clarify, what I perhaps imperfectly remember saying about SSRN was that [in law] it started with mostly law & economics and covers that field well, and it then expanded into legal theory. Beyond those two fields, its coverage is much less extensive. Most legal scholarship is not on SSRN.
And on the number of downloads of my Yale review of Michael Bellesiles's Arming America ("Fall from Grace: Arming America and the Bellesiles Scandal"), I pointed out that the number of downloads from Glenn Reynolds' Instapundit site exceeded 130,000, with over 50,000 downloads in the first week it was up on his site. That was only one of the three sites where the review was up. If you are curious, my Yale review can now be downloaded from SSRN at the bottom of this SSRN page.
