Another Blog to Check Out

If you want to understand the University of Chicago Law School, you need to understand that more than anything else, this place functions on ideas. Of course, ideas are an important part of the classroom here, but ideas pervade this place. Students and faculty discuss current events, legal theory, pop culture, the relative merits of Chicago pizza parlors, politics – all with great intensity and joy. Want a glimpse into this without having to come visit? Check out our Faculty Blog. Several of our faculty members post to it regularly, discussing such varied topics as free speech in wartime, religion and the first amendment, Hurricane Katrina, gambling laws, and the intersection of law and emerging technology. The discussion in the comments can get hot and heavy, and commenters include students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the Law School (that’s you). Anyone can (and does) comment, and it’s a great chance to talk with our faculty and students about what they’re talking about every day. (If you want, you can subscribe that blog, as well as this one, through the FeedBlitz link on the left side.)
