A trio of deans this month launched the first group blog written specifically by law school deans, with the intention of driving the national conversation about legal education.

Weary of keeping quiet as critics in the media and online opine on law schools’ problems, the three deans want the blog to be a must-read among their peers, faculty and students on topics ranging from student debt and rising costs to accreditation and declining applications.

Law professors have had a strong online presence for close to a decade, but law deans have, until now, been largely silent in the blogosphere. A handful of other law deans maintain their own blogs devoted to big-picture legal education topics or have done guest stints on law school-focused blogs, while some others blog about their campus goings-on.
