New blogs joining the LexBlog Network for the week of 3/5-3/9

As we wrap up work on a day in which LexBlog HQ and much of Seattle was hit with a random power outage, let’s look at the two new publications joining the LexBlog Network this week. And, as we hit 12 straight business days with an episode of LXBN TV, check out Santiago Cueto breaking down the latest in Supreme Court case Kiobel v. British Dutch Petroleum.

• Kelley Dry & Warren, a long-established member of the LexBlog Network, continues to grow their array of publications with the launch of Food and Drug Law Access. This, their tenth blog, provides news and commentary concerning food and drug law and public policy developments affecting companies operating in the industry.
• Mortgage Crisis Watch—covering business and legal issues affecting loan repurchases, mortgage-backed securities and mortgage insurance—is the first blog on the LexBlog Network from Miami law firm Bilzin Sumberg. The blog covers topics that include Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, relevent legislation and regulation, mortgage repurchases and residential mortgage-backed securities.
