Free legal advice

I doubt that any political theorists will get into much trouble under the libel law. After all, saying that someone is a Kantian constructivist when you know damn well that he's an Hare prescriptivist because he yelled it over the Palmer House bar at the last MPSA isn't exactly actionable. But still, Eugene Volokh's post on blogging libel insurance should be gratefully received as a genuine public service. And for us shysters, it's delightfully geeky to boot!
