Consumer Law and Policy: www.clpblog.org  The contributors to this blog are a diverse group of lawyers and law professors who practice, teach, or write about consumer law and policy.

Credit Slips, http://www.creditslips.org/  This blog covers "all things about credit and bankruptcy." It features discussions and debates about "what does happen and what should happen when consumers and businesses borrow money."

Law and More, http://lawandmore.typepad.com/ "Deconstructing what happens in law." A particular focus on consumer law and class-action litigation, and lead-paint litigation in particular. Some posts amount to professional-skills pep talks, and others recap recent episodes of Boston Legal.

Class Action Defense, http://classactiondefense.jmbm.com/ Discusses the Class Action Fairness Act, class certification, employment law, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and multidistrict litigation.
