Entering Our Ninth Year

by Robert Thomas, InverseCondemnation September 8, 2014

We're starting to repeat ourselves. Every year at this time, it seems, we're saying again that as you get older, you forget birthdays. Thus, it only occurred to us only over the weekend that that this blog's "birthday" passed without notice. It hardly seems like eight years ago that we posted here for the first time. In law blog years, that's quite a while.

Because doing this in a vacuum would not be worthwhile, I'd like to recognize those who send us items, who make comments, who gently prod with suggestions.

I'd also like to hail my fellow law bloggers who, like me, make the time to share thoughts about the legal issues of the day. Although you're not quite "Real Men [and Women] of Genius," today we salute you, Mr. Law Blog Blogging Guy (and Gals):

There surely are others, and if I've omitted any who should be acknowledged, I apologize and plead a failing memory (see above). Besides, you know who you are.
