We had 151 posts hit The LexBlog Network on what, today, was the warmest day of the year in Seattle. Not only did the sun bring an absolutely gorgeous afternoon, but also a Mariners win. Onto the posts. Today, Daniel Clement has a very interesting post on same sex marriage and its impact on the New York economy.

What’s really the benefit of producing an “App”? For so many companies and the lackluster products they produce, the “Hey, look who has an app!” stories seem to generate more buzz than the actual application itself.

Today, Jennifer Gokenbach examines the app’s potentially positive effects for employers. Total posts on The LexBlog Network today: 158.

I’m not sure we’ve ever started off a week with as much momentum as we have this one, as yesterday’s 175 posts are followed-up by 177 more posts on The LexBlog Network today.

I’m not sure what it is, but Mondays always seem to be a bit busier than normal on The LexBlog Network. Now, why do I say that? Because today saw 175 posts come across the wire. Offering insight on a much-discussed case, Justinian Lane examines a $322 million asbestos verdict where “one of the defendants engaged in a cost-benefit analysis that concluded it was OK to give people cancer as long as the profit exceeded the cost of the ensuing lawsuits.” Awful.
New blogs joining The LexBlog Network for the week of 5/2-5/6
It’s just a little bit ridiculous that it’s already May, but as we in Seattle inch our way towards summer one sunny weekend at a time, The Lexblog Network sees six new publications make their debuts. Within that bunch, be sure to look at the first on this list, which is a project we at LexBlog are particularly proud of. This publication has been in the works for a few months and it’s great to see if off and running.

Today’s posts on the LexBlog Network are an eclectic mix of case studies, regulatory updates, and business advice. My personal favorites include an examination of an independent contractor case by Mark Tabakman, and Russell Jackson has an amusing take on an environmental group’s new legal strategy. Enjoy!
