Most lawyers shudder when they think about their early days in law school and the Socratic questioning inflicted on them by their law professors.  If this sounds familiar, this post may be a hard sell.  Inhouseblog has been following the growth of The Law Professor Blog Network, which is now sponsored by Lexis-Nexis.  The network is a collection of blogs ranging from antitrust to contracts to technology law.  We’re signed up to a few of them here and have found them to be informative and well worth the time spent reading their posts each day. Can you imagine a time when law students will subscribe to their law professors blogs to get their reading materials, assignments, exams - and perhaps turn in their assignments the same way? How about being able to take classes at different law schools on subjects that your law school doesn’t offer?  Blog technology has already moved into audio "podcasting" - and some are dabbling with RSS and video.  Hopefully the proliferation of Web 2.0 technology will help decrease the costs of graduate level studies so that students don’t have to graduate with 100k in debt.  Check out the Law Professor Blog Network today and let us know what you think.
