Best in Law Blogs : The LexBlog Network : June 21, 2011

Every now and then, I walk away from the office totally and completely blown away by the quality and breadth of coverage produced by The LexBlog Network. I’m always impressed, but some days stand out more than others. Today is one of those days. Let’s start with the fact that we had 184 posts on the day. Moving on, we have Dukes v.

We’re bumping today’s roundup to 15, leading off with a collection of the best Dukes v. Wal-Mart pieces. Enjoy.
