Who raises the red flag? Just about anyone can raise a red flag about a court decision or position taken by a litigant. However, some bloggers tend to flag these claims frequently. Lawyers probably live in relative fear of one of their lawsuits being mentioned by any of these bloggers:

Professor Eugene Volokh: who founded and blogs at the influential and popular group blog Volokh Conspiracy often flags decisions which “get it wrong” on First Amendment grounds. More than one school administrator or local government official has surely cringed upon seeing his/her decision highlighted on the Volokh Conspiracy blog.

Walter Olson: who blogs at Overlawyered is another blogger who frequently flags unreasonable positions taken by lawyers. While he monitors litigation excess generally, absurd tort lawsuits are his specialty, and many a plaintiff’s lawyer has graced the pages of his blog in shame.

Marc J. Randazza: who blogs at the Legal Satyricon flags decisions which are problematic from a First Amendment or an intellectual property perspective. Mr. Randazza is often scathing (but accurate) in his criticism. He also covers a wide range of topics but the government of Florida is one of his favorite subjects.

Bloggers from all stripes flag problematic decisions.
