"Top 50 Criminal Law Blogs"
The title of this post is the heading of this posting at the website "Criminal Justice Degree Schools." I am not exactly sure if the site's rankings are definitive, but here is how it introduces the list:
We have organized the best criminal law blogs on the Internet and ordered them based on popularity according to third party sources.* These blogs provide excellent commentary and insights into criminal law from the point of view of prosecutors, defense lawyers, and professors. You can also follow these blog authors on Twitter to stay up to date on the latest news in criminal law.
*The order of this list of top criminal law blogs was determined based on website metrics including Page Authority, number of websites linking to the blog, MozRank, Google PageRank, and Domain Rank. The data is taken from third party sources including Opensiteexplorer.org, Google, and Ahrefs.com.
If you click through to the list, you will quickly see why I am partial to the rankings. More importantly, I find this whole list a very valuable resource for those interested in keeping up with criminal justice blogging.

Congratulations to Doug for being the #1 pro-defense blog.
Congratulations to Kent for being the #1 pro-prosecution blog.
And before the cat-calling begins, in a world where defense lawyers overwhelmingly outnumber prosecutors, a pro-prosecution blog was never going to be #1 overall or anything close to it. I'm amazed it made the top ten.

I just had a quick flick through some of the blogs in the list and some of them are very helpful. I even went and bookmarked the website so I can come back to them in the future. I was thinking of starting one myself in the next few months, maybe I can make the list someday!

My two favorite blogs are #1 and #2. Coolness.

As usual, I have a follow-up question for Bill (which maybe he could address in a post at Crime and Consequences) and that is:
"Why are there more pro-defense blogs then prosecution?" Perhaps, defense attorneys have more free time to opine on the law then prosecutors? Defense counsel, do not take offense, I'm being sarcastic (maybe).
Also, I did not know that Prof. Cole edited CrimProf Blog. He was my criminal law professor my 1L year. Congrats to him as well.

Matt --
There are four reasons there are more pro-defense blogs than pro-prosecution blogs.
1. There are many more defense lawyers than prosecutors.
2. Prosecutors are much more leery (as they should be) of making public statements, lest they be accused of trying to poison the well, and of being excessively political. When I was an AUSA, I never said beans in public.
3. Defense lawyers like to talk even more than prosecutors, hard though that is to believe.
4. Having a defense blog can be good for business. Some defense lawyers use them as a form of advertising. I have absolutely nothing against this and, indeed, welcome it.

Sorry, a blog top 50 list without Squawk is seriously missing the boat. But I'm just an appellate nerd.

Good resource. I like the idea of having a "top 50" list!
Posted by: Glotzer Sweat LLP_Criminal Attorneys Los Angeles | Jun 26, 2014 1:40:10 PM
I like the defence law blog idea as it could help me advertise my legal defence practice. I might even apply some squawk ;). Good resource.

I am writing to let you know that I have just published a book with Columbia University Press entitled Criminal Justice at the Crossroads: Transforming Crime and Punishment. The primary goal is the development a roadmap for criminal justice reform, with a particular focus on prosecution, sentencing and corrections.
The recommendations are neither timid nor piecemeal, but are evidence-based. I believe this book provides a proper motivation for aggressive reform, a comprehensive assessment of the scientific evidence for a wide variety of reform policies and programs, a realistic look at costs and benefits, and the challenges and barriers to implementing the proposed policy changes. I have provided the Amazon link below where you can read an overview as well as selected reviews.
Best.

How come the law is so confusing? I guess that is why you need a good lawyer to represent you. I
like your article, it presents a lot of really good information that I can understand. I have heard that really good lawyers get to know each other even if they are from difference parts of the country. I am looking at this lawyer - Andrew D. Stine - here is his website. From what I have read and heard, he is well suited in criminal law. I am looking for an opinion if you have heard of him or have experience with him. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Doug,
I am writing to announce the release of my new criminal justice reform book called From Retribution to Public Safety: Disruptive Innovation of American Criminal Justice, Rowman and Littlefield (with Robert Pitman and William Streusand). This book takes a detailed look at the disordered offender (mental illness, substance use disorders, neurocognitive dysfunction and intellectual impairment) and how various impairments and disorders are linked to criminality. We then develop the statutory and procedural mechanisms and the clinical protocol to comprehensively assess criminal defendants and divert them to treatment on a scale unfamiliar in the American experience. We also address what changes need to be made to public health in order to have the expertise and capacity for larger scale diversion.
It is available at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Retribution-Public-Safety-Disruptive-Innovation/dp/1442273887/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1492090336&sr=1-3
Thank you for your interest.
Best.
Bill

I figure that is the reason you require a decent legal counselor to speak to you. I
like your article, it exhibits a great deal of better than average data that I can get it. I have heard that decent legal advisors become acquainted with each other regardless of whether they are from distinction parts of the nation. I am taking a gander at this legal advisor.
