The biggest change from the prior 12-month rankings is that InstaPundit no longer has a publicly available SiteMeter and thus is no longer included in these rankings. In absolute terms, the Top 35 blogs cumulative traffic (page views and visitors) is flat over the past 12 months.

• These Law Prof Blog Rankings are drawn from Dan Solove's Law Professor Blogger Census, as updated by Colin Miller' Legal Educator Blog Census.  They include all blogs edited by law professors -- both law-related and non law-related.
• Please email me the names of any Law Prof Blogs with traffic over the past twelve months that would qualify for inclusion on the lists (174,964 page views and/or 122,290 visitors).  If necessary, I will re-publish the list to include all qualifying blogs.
• Several popular Law Prof Blogs do not have publicly available SiteMeters and thus are not included on the list:  e.g., California Appellate Report, Credit Slips, The Deal Professor, Dorf on Law, Feminist Law Professors, InstaPundit, Legal Theory, Point of Law, ProfessorBainbridge.com. 
• These rankings cover only those blogs edited by law professors.  Other law-related blogs edited by practitioners, librarians, non-law school academics, and journalists are not included on this list:  e.g., Above the Law, How Appealing, Law Librarian Blog, Wall Street Journal Law Blog.
• Members of our Law Professor Blogs Network comprise, by page views, two of the Top 10, four of the Top 20, and eleven of the Top 35 blogs; and by visitors, two of the Top 10, five of the Top 20, and eleven of the Top 35 blogs.
