Blogging in the Chinese Legal Community

A recent article in the Harvard International Law Journal analyzes the blogging activity of Chinese judges and public interest lawyers. Professor Anne S. Y. Cheung discusses what this activity says about the power of the Internet and the exercise of free speech in China. According to Cheung, blogging by Chinese judges, often in their real names, is not unusual. More than a third of the judges' blog postings examined by Cheung related to legal research.
