I've only just noticed that there's a Faculty Blog at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. It seems to be a project of four faculty members, Anver Emon, Ariel Katz, Benjamin Alarie, Lorne Sossin, and has posts in the following categories: Administrative Law, Competition Law/Antitrust, Current Events, and Intellectual Property. I have to say that the rate of posting has to go way up before this becomes a useful law blog: 4 posts in February, 1 in March, and 2 thus far in April. For those who want to track it, the feed is http://utorontolaw.typepad.com/faculty_blog/index.rdf

Simon Fodden is the founder of Slaw. He taught law at Osgoode Hall Law School for more than 30 years before he retired to focus on writing, publishing, and IT and law.
