The Art Law Report Named to Above the Law’s 12 Awesome Law Blogs of 2014

I was pleasantly surprised to learn today that Above the Law had published an article entitled “The 12 Awesome Law Blogs of 2014,” and right there at Number 1 was none other than the Art Law Report. As Colin O’Keefe and Cara McDonald wrote:

Spurred by the discovery of a trove of Nazi-looted art in Munich, this blog was on a roll in 2014, covering all the recent developments in the situation. Offering insight on that story and more, the blog — as good as niche-oriented publications come — examines all the legal angles associated with art, from ownership to intellectual property to the First Amendment.

Well that was nice. It’s a reminder that there are articulate, well-researched law blogs out there that are examining any topic of interest and in real time (present company excluded). It’s no Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog, but it will have to do.

Kudos as well to fellow honorees Trademarkology by Stites & Harbison, Inside Privacy by Covington & Burling, Canna Law Blog by Harris Moure, (edited by Hilary Bricken and Canna Law), Energy and the Law, by Gray, Reed & McGraw, P.C., edited & written by Charles Sartain, The D&O Diary by Kevin LaCroixof R-T Specialty, LLC, All About Advertising Law, by Venable editors Amy Mudge and Randy Shaheen, BeLabor the Point, by Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Stitterson, the Auto Industry Blog by Foley & Lardner, edited by Omar A.
