15 years of “How Appealing” — reader mail: Today’s email is from law professor Michael Risch:

When I first went into academia, I noticed that my colleagues (and bloggers) always seemed to know the latest cases to come out, wherever, whenever. I thought to myself, “How can all these people keep up with all of this?” I then discovered their (not so well-kept) secret — How Appealing. It’s like one stop shopping for what’s happening in the courts; a professor’s dream. Since I started teaching, keeping up has gotten easier due to modern technology, but there is still only one source that continually provides more than the rest.

Professor Risch, thank you for your email. I have heard similar realizations from others that their colleagues — whether judges, judicial law clerks, or practicing lawyers — must be “How Appealing” readers based on what legal developments they are discussing at any given time. I will post another reader email tomorrow.
