Law Professor Blogs Network Is Going Gangbusters

As noted here on the TaxProf Blog, the mother of all LPBN Blogs, the Law Professor Blogs Network enjoyed a record-setting 2013, with traffic up 87.5% over 2012 as total network page views topped 18 million.  Eighteen of the network’s blogs are among the 50 most popular blogs edited by law professors.  Four network blogs were named to the ABA Blawg 100 (“the 100 best Web sites by lawyers, for lawyers, as chosen by the editors of the ABA Journal”), and one network blog was named to the ABA Blawg 100 Hall of Fame.

 Brian Leiter’s Law School Reports and Law School Rankings joined the network in October.  The network launched nine new blogs in 2013:
