The blogosphere’s buzzing over a proposed code of conduct for bloggers that seeks to strike a balance between frank conversation and civility.

This is a collaborative exercise of course in the best spirit of Web 2.0, and bloggers are invited to submit their comments or otherwise to participate in developing this proposed code.

Bloggers have already raised some fair criticisms with the proposed code, including A-listers Jason Kottke and Cory Doctorow, and no doubt others will be weighing in.

In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait to see whether the blogging world is ready for its own “No Asshole Rule“.

Grab yourself some peanuts and Cracker Jack: Baseball is the theme at this week’s Blawg Review, the weekly review of legal blogging hosted each week at a different law blog. Calling balls and strikes at Blawg Review #103 is Jonathan Frieden at E-Commerce Law.

Among the posts linked to are two that particularly caught my attention: one story about jurors compromising and another one about a first-year property law class creatively using Second Life to learn real-world lessons.
