Professor Balkin has just legal-fied the conversation, which, in a demonstration of the unfortunate way that law school has transformed me, I find very very interesting. He is arguing that there need to be tighter rules on libel so that we don't blur the lines of libel so far that insurance companies, for instance, begin to change the rules in such a way that bloggers start getting screwed.



Excellent debate between Kaus and Balkin. This is one of those moments where I am once again reminded why I am impressed by our faculty here. Check out the Lawmeme site for the synopsis.



Instapundit offers another interesting perspective--that Google in some way mitigates the need for full disclosure of conflicts of interest. Can you assume that the people looking at information on the Internet have access to all this information about the speaker? This actually reminds me of an on-going discussion in the Law Review community. The growing consensus among the editors seems to be that law review articles are too long and that they can be considerably shortened because the people who read these articles are getting them on Westlaw or Lexis, wherein they have access to much of the information provided in these articles in long-winded surveys of the previous literature.
