Decision of the Day is my "new favorite" when it comes to legal blogs (I just can't bring myself to use the dreadful term "blawg"). The reason is simple: interesting case selection combined with great writing. It may lose its top-dog spot to Scotusblog in the spring when the Supreme Court's decisions really start rolling out, but for the rest of the year this one will be the best of them if it continues on its current path. Other recommendations: Appellate Law and Practice -- Get the latest decisions from the Circuits. Caveat: The most prolific poster is someone called S.COTUS, whose posts are often unintelligible due to his/her grammar problems. PrawfsBlawg -- Some of the posters at this legal professors' blog are quite good; others are not. I rather like the mix of legal commentary, political rants, and professorial dilemmas but your mileage may vary. Crime and Federalism -- I may not always agree with the politics of this blog, but it provides a fascinating window into real criminal jurisprudence (as opposed to the idealized cases that make Supreme Court decisions).
