Given the continued proliferation of law-related weblogs, including blogs written by professors and attorneys with expertise in various substantive areas of the law, one frequently finds on the Internet a robust and insightful discussion of cases pending before the courts for resolution. What should judges do if, while visiting the legal blogosphere, they encounter discussions about how pending cases ought to be decided?
To consider just a few examples, suppose a law professor with expertise in search and seizure of electronic data has a thoughtful post about a pending Fourth Amendment challenge to the search of a computer’s hard drive. Or a law professor who teaches sentencing law may have a detailed post that examines a complex sentencing appeal and recommends a resolution that the professor considers to be the most lawful and just for that case. Or a law professor with expertise in constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech may have an insightful post concerning a defamation case in which the party being sued has asserted a defense under the First Amendment.
