Yale has begun an online companion to the Yale Law Journal "The Pocket Part" at http://www.thepocketpart.org/. An attractive looking academic blog, giving an avenue for short pieces that readers can comment on. Yale's blurb says: "While full-length scholarly works remain at the center of legal debate, students, professors, and practicing lawyers are increasingly turning to the Internet to read about, and comment on, developments in the law. With this trend in mind, the editors of Volume 115 have launched The Pocket Part ( http://www.thepocketpart.org), an online companion to the Journal. With The Pocket Part, the Journal hopes to combine the strengths of both print and online media, broadening the readership of traditional legal scholarship while enriching the dialogue among the academy, bench, and bar." The first article is a digest of an article published in issue 1 of volume 115 of Yale Law Journal. Seems to be some self-citation to the Yale Law Journal within the online references, it will be interesting to see if that's coincidental or a continuing practice.
