Well, the results are in and we have another distinction to crow about at the blog. We have been selected as the 2013 top News/Analysis site among the competing world blogs in the annual ABA Journal survey. The success of this blog is due entirely to our unique community around the world, which have maintained a site where the issues of our day can be discussed with passion but civility. Thanks to all of our regulars and particularly our our talented and popular weekend team of guest bloggers: Mike Appleton, David Drumm, Mark Esposito, Gene Howington, Elaine Magliaro, Larry Rafferty, Darren Smith, Mike Spindell, and Charlton Stanley. While we created and maintain this site to allow us to share our thoughts, it is always gratifying to receive such recognitions. It is always my hope that the selection will bring new people to our site to further expand the voices and views on legal, political, and sometimes just plain bizarre stories.
Congratulations to all of the competitions in this News/Analysis category, particularly Ken White and his Popehat site which appears to have come in second. The other winners are:

Well deserved, congratulations. And I might add that the discourse us rabble followers leave in the form of our comments is among the more civil to be found on news sites. Your thoughtful pick of topics keeps us on our toes. Now hopefully a few political types will start to follow and head your sage advice.
Congratulations!
Congratulations are, indeed, in order! But so well deserved.
With all those loved starved women……throwing flowers at my feet…..
Wunderful…..
As the song goes: “Lord, It’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way.” 😀

HALL OF FAME George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley draws on his own experience in high-profile litigation as he analyzes breaking news items that raise legal questions. His posts, and those of his guests, show a particular interest in the First Amendment, rights of consumers, the rights of criminal defendants and the patently bizarre.
