Legal News – LexBlogosphere: 4/9/08

For some reason there was a lot more blog content produced today than most other Wednesdays. The upswing in content doesn’t appear to be due to a particularly important legal development, which leaves us wondering what compelled so many bloggers – including a few who haven’t written in a while – to offer new insights.
