The first weekly installment of Blawg Review will appear here next Monday. Since the announcement of this new concept last week by Blawg Review's anonymous Editor 'n' Chef (it's definitely not me), a number of blawgs have signed up to host upcoming issues. You can see a list of these blawgs on the Blawg Review website.
For many, the "carnival" concept on which Blawg Review is based might be a new one. You can get a better sense of the concept by reading the new issue of Carnival of the Capitalists, which can be found today at Law & Entrepreneurship News. That weblog will also be hosting Blawg Review on May 2.
As the Editor 'n' Chef, Kevin Heller, and I embark on this new project, I have been reminded to emphasize that all blawg authors--lawyers, law students, law professors, judges, and so on--are encouraged to participate in this new project. The many ways to participate are explained on the Blawg Review site.
This week, the most urgent need is for blawg authors to submit their best posts (please follow the simple guidelines), which I will consider for the first issue of Blawg Review next Monday.
Just to clarify. The EIC is not Evan nor I.
Also, I just realized that a techlawadvisor post has never made the previous incarnation of Carnival of the Lawyers becuase I was always hosting. Doh!
Evan, please include something from me this week. Please, Please.
Also, why is Blawg Review successful in getting hosts when BUTTB was not -- is it the involvement of Legal Underground or the organization skills of the EIC?

It's thanks to the organizational skills of the anonymous Editor 'n' Chef, which have been pretty amazing.

Kevin, just because you're a co-founding Contributing Editor of Blawg Review doesn't mean you don't have to submit whatever post of yours that you want Evan to include in his hosting of Blawg Review next Monday. Evan's not going to take the week off work and search the internet for the best of the blawgosphere. Everyone has to contribute their own stuff for Evan to whip into this Blawg Review.
Lawyers, law students, and law professors who blog, even federal judges, or their clerks, have to take the initiative and submit their own favorite recent posts for the Blawg Review, if they want to get in on the action. It's easy, it's fun, and it's a great opportunity to get some of Evan's quality traffic over to check out your blawg, too.
Simply follow the Submission Guidelines on www.blawgreview.com. Whenever you publish something brilliant, insightful, or hilarious on your blog, think of Blawg Review. Maybe it's something everyone should hear about. Blawg Review will send readers your way to check it out. Just email some brief information about your post and a link to Blawg Review, and the upcoming host will take it from there.
And Kevin, I don't think Evan will forget to include a self-referential link to one of his best recent posts just because he's hosting this week. I'm sure he's already excited about all the new traffic coming to read the premier issue of Blawg Review that might not have discovered the wit and wisdom of Notes from the (Legal) Underground, yet. And they'll be back, again and again, like the rest of us.

Yes, I now realize how insane that was.
