A Law Journal Blog
We have two law journals here at UK Law. The Kentucky Law Journal and the Kentucky Journal of Equine, Agriculture and Natural Resources Law (KJEANRL). The name of the second is admittedly a mouthful and a very recent change, made in part to broaden the types of articles published. Now that a new name and focus have been settled on, the editorial staff is expanding upon traditional types of legal scholarship and publishing a companion blog to their journal.
From the blog description:
The Kentucky Journal of Equine, Agriculture & Natural Resources Law Blog is an interactive blog providing legal scholars, practitioners and students a worldwide forum to discuss compelling issues in equine, agricultural and natural resources law. Responses to articles, notes and comments published in the print copy of KJEANRL are strongly encouraged. Additionally, the blog provides abstracts of articles, notes and comments published in the predecessors to KJEANRL, the Journal of Natural Resources & Environmental Law and the Journal of Mineral Law & Policy.
I think that’s a really neat idea and a great way to turn traditional scholarship more 2.0 and interactive. Does anyone know of other law journals doing this?
Great topic, Sarah. Stephanie Plotin lists several law journals that do this in her article “Legal Scholarship, Electronic Publishing, and Open Access: Transformation or Steadfast Stagnation?,” 101 Law Libr. J. 31 (2009), at paragraph 52, http://j.mp/hbVDd.
