The Volokh Conspiracy (/ˈvɑːlək/ VOL-ik)[1][2] is a legal 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."[3] It is one of the most widely read and cited legal blogs in the United States. The blog is written by legal scholars and provides discussion on complex court decisions.
In January 2014, The Volokh Conspiracy migrated to The Washington Post,[4] with Volokh retaining full editorial control over its content.[5] After June 2014, the blog was behind a paywall.[4] In 2017, the blog moved to Reason. Volokh cited his principal reason for the move was to “be freely available to the broadest range of readers” and to have more editorial independence.[6][7]
