Thanks so much Paul. This is one of the few blogs I follow, even though I'm no longer an academic. Interest in tax policy dies hard.

Think about bringing on a law firm, especially a small one. The law firm can capture more private benefit from the blog and will thus have much stronger incentive to keep up with the continuous hard if rewarding work that a blog like this entails. The law firm won't mind letting you keep absolute authority (usually unexercised, one would hope) so long as they get the publicity they deserve.

Congratulations, Paul. Your appointment is wonderful news for Pepperdine and all of legal education. And, of course, keeping the blog is wonderful news as well.

This is good news. When deans blog, faculty are less reluctant to blog, and blogs are good for legal education and the area of law on which the blogger focuses.
