Talk of the LexBlogosphere: August 23, 2007

The ball keeps rolling in the LexBlogosphere today. Though I will be out of the Seattle office next week, these entries will continue; in addition, to reflect on the first month of daily updates, I will use the week to analyze blogging trends among LexBlog clients: how many updates are we seeing a day? Which blogs are updated daily, without fail? What days of the week are most and least popular blogging days among our clients? Hopefully these questions and more will be answered in a post I plan to put up sometime next weekend. Stay tuned.

The news for August 23 includes:

• Border security is a sensitive issue, and the Department of Transportation wants to make sure they’ve covered all the bases. Morgan Adams at the Truck Injury Lawyer Blog writes about potential security improvements suggested by the DOT’s inspector general.
