The Volokh Conspiracy

The Volokh Conspiracy ( ) is a blog co-founded in 2002 by law professor Eugene Volokh, covering legal and political issues from an ideological orientation it describes as "generally libertarian, conservative, centrist, or some mixture of these."
Its name is a joking reference to Hillary Clinton's claim in 1998 of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" she believed was persecuting her and husband President Bill Clinton. In 2007, Andy Guess of the "Inside Higher Ed" wrote that it was "one of the most widely read legal blogs in the United States" and that it "probably has more influence in the field – and more direct impact – than most law reviews."
According to Adam Teicholz of "The Atlantic", The Volokh Conspiracy, among other blogs, played an important role in influencing the view of Americans against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In 2013, The Volokh Conspiracy appeared in "ABA Journal"'s "Blawg 100 Hall of Fame".
In January 2014, "The Volokh Conspiracy" migrated to "The Washington Post", with Volokh retaining full editorial control over its content. After June 2014 the blog was behind a paywall. In 2017, the blog moved to "Reason", with Volokh citing as his reasons free access and editorial freedom to include unredacted expletives in quoted material.
