The blog is "Statutory Construction Zone" focusing on recent federal statutory-construction cases. Currently, it covers the Supreme Court, D.C. Circuit, Federal Circuit, Second Circuit, and Fourth Circuit. Each installment includes case summaries, quotations from statutory construction treatises, a law review article recommendation, and a pre-1789 English common law trivia question.

Author-Lawyer Gary O'Connor's goal for the blog is to allow people to keep up with current federal statutory-construction case law (what statutes are being construed, which arguments judges are accepting or using, etc.). Gary says that as far as he knows, there are no similar web sites or regular columns in legal publications focusing on current federal statutory-construction cases.

We hope Gary soon adds the circuits where there is a new Bush appointee sitting --like the Tenth Circuit where Michael McConnell is on board--so we can all track their views on statutory construction.

Thanks, Gary for the valuable addition to the legal blogosphere.
