Thanks for another informative year, Dennis.

I look forward to tuning in in 2009.

This is a great list! There’s quite a few of these blawgs that I haven’t been following, but will be adding to my reader. I’m glad you had one category solely for writing style.
As far as twitter, and microblogging in general, I still don’t know. It seems like too much of a commitment and too time consuming.

Dennis:
Thank you so much for putting this together. I got a little chill up my spine reading this, and seeing all the projects I am involved in mentioned (especially Slaw!). Well, or it could be the cold wind in Toronto.
Regardless, it is a fantastic list you have put together. Congratulations to all the winners!
Cheers,
Connie

Thanks for thinking of MoneyLaw in the law professor category. Even if I didn’t have tenure, I’d appreciate being mentioned and linked outside academia. If anything, I’d like MoneyLaw’s ideas to gain greater circulation outside the academy. I appreciate your readership and how this mention has boosted MoneyLaw’s profile among real lawyers.

Echoing Jordan’s words, thank you for the mention (and the kind words). Nice list!

Many thanks from all of us at Slaw, Dennis! The Clawbies wouldn’t be around without your inspiration either.

Thank you so much, Dennis!! Like most law bloggers, I think of you as the grandmaster of legal blogging, so this is just an extraordinary honour. Many thanks again!
