Boston Personal Injury Lawyer Blog
One look at Boston Personal Injury Lawyer Blog’s cookie-cutter layout had us bracing ourselves for rote entries about local car crashes. But we found nothing of that ilk here.

Drug and Device Law
“Although on the surface this appears to be a very specialized blog, it continues to offer some of the best analysis of civil procedure (e.g., “TwIqbal” pleading, pre-emption), tort (e.g., general defenses in products liability) and evidence (e.g., Daubert) available anywhere,” writes Ted McClure, a law librarian from the Phoenix School of Law. “Unabashedly biased in favor of civil defense, it is accurate, astute, cited by courts, and fun to read.”

“Given the countless decisions that come out each day in the food and drug industry, it’s tough to separate the wheat from the chaff,” writes Jeff Grizzel of FDA News. “I’m looking for trends, game-changers and reversals of policy, and Kurt [Karst] and Jeffrey [Wasserstein] do a great job.”
