I am delighted that TaxProf Blog has been named the Best Law Professor Blog by Dennis Kennedy in his ninth annual Best of Law-related Blogging Awards (the “Blawggies”):

Best Law Professor Blog – Paul Caron’s The TaxProf Blog

The
Blawggies have always had a spot for the best law professor blog. In
part, it’s my little effort to bridge the great divide between
practicing lawyers and law professors.

I have a repeat winner here
and it’s a great blog to read as we approach the fiscal cliff. As I
said last year, the test of a great blog is how it keeps me returning to
it time after time because of its great posts when it’s outside my
subject matter. The topic here is U.S. tax, but Paul ventures into the
real word with regular, thoughtful posts. It’s a blog with an academic
focus and a a real world impact. My greatest compliment: reading this
blog makes me want to take a class from Paul. I hope he’s thinking about
doing some online courses.

I am also pleased that our sister Legal Skills Prof Blog was the runner up:

Yes, I know, I’m involved in this one, but I don’t post very often,
so I can pretend to be objective. This blog has great coverage of the
current debate about what needs to be done with the current approach to
legal education and what law schools are doing in the area of skills
education.
