I wanted to introduce Convictions [1], Slate’s new legal blog, but I noticed Simon beat me to it [2](great minds think alike!). An About page [3]has been added to Convictions since Simon’s post which lists its contributors and touts itself as a “destination for smart legal conversation and commentary.” A quick glance at the blog’s tag cloud shows its popular topics include 9/11 plotters, gun control, Iraq, law schools, war crimes, and the second amendment. Also, see Law.com [4]for a review of the blog.
