To call Eugene Volokh a law professor, while technically true, sort of misses the point. In 2002, he founded one of the first and most influential law blogs, the eponymous Volokh Conspiracy. Today, the blog hosts a roster of prominent law bloggers. VC has been one of the most popular, celebrated, and award-winning blogs for more than a decade. But the ultimate validation came this past year, when the new, Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post signed a deal to host the site (and to put its posts behind a Post paywall after 6 months).
