Blogs can be a useful tool to follow recent developments in jurisprudence and international relations. Most provide e-mail alerts to which users can subscribe. However, it should be noted that blog reports and similar 'insights' do not generally provide in-depth legal analysis. Clearly, for research purposes, the use of blogs cannot replace a proper study of legal doctrine and primary sources.
