- politics and current events

Back at trial again; new fave blogs
With another multiweek complex civil trial looming, I am about to enter the twilight zone of blogging. That is, new posts may appear from time to time, but ask yourself: are they meaningful? Do they have any content? Or are they mere figments, phantoms of past ideas haphazardly tossed into the pan for a lukewarm reheating?

When your humble host is at trial, other things get shoved onto the back burner, as it were. That's because Eh N. takes seriously the interests of his clients, and his own obligation to zealously and loyally represent those interests. It takes time, and some mental concentration, and a great deal of frivolousness to blawg at length. Therefore, prudence (and conscience) demands that blogging becomes a secondary activity - a leisure sport. Since full-time trials eat into such leisure activities as sleeping, regular meals, exercise, and seeing the sky when the sun is out, blogging will perforce be minimized.

That said, here are some blawgs that I have recently taken a new or renewed interest in:

Space Law Probe, for all your space and satellite law-related needs. Discovering this blawg made unnecessary the following mini-post, which I was assembling about the Jiuquan Space Center:

After all, if others are covering, I don't have to.

And, secondly, Ken Lammers' Crim Law Blog, one of the first blawgs I read regularly. I rediscovered the blog - nice new look, Ken - recently and have been following the posts (by Ken and Frontier Law Student) with some interest, particularly the ones that are either autobiographical like A Day In the Life of a Criminal Defense Attorney, or deal with topics of particular interest to me, like For Service, Speak English. As you may recall, I guest-posted about language discrimination over at Evan Schaeffer's Legal Underground, here. (This was my second guest post over there, following on one involving Bootstrapping and the Law, available here.)
