TaxProf Blog, a 21-year-old staple of the law professor blogosphere founded by Pepperdine Law Dean Paul Caron, is shutting down after its host platform Typepad announced it will close on Sept. 30. Reuters reports that Caron said he does not plan to restart on a new platform but hopes to preserve the blog’s archive of nearly 56,000 posts, which have long chronicled developments in tax law, law school rankings and legal education. The closure also casts uncertainty over the future of about 60 other law professor blogs in Caron’s Law Professor Blog Network, many of which also rely on Typepad.
