Best in Law Blogs : The LexBlog Network : October 25, 2011

I don’t know if I’ve admitted this previously, but not all of these roundups are created equally—the LexBlog Network has its good days and, while they’re less frequent, its not-so-good days. Today is one of the good days as we have some excellent and intriguing posts from the likes of Andrew Trask, Mike Nesteroff, Mike Danko and others. Also, if you haven’t seen it, check out the LXBN Roundtable on the prominent Hannaford Bros. data breach case we mentioned yesterday. Total posts on the LexBlog Network today: 144.
