On March 28, 2022, TLB published its first post. Since then, we have published 245 more.
Over the past year, the site has received more than 32,000 visitors from 82 different countries. Roughly half of those readers are based in the United States. Our most frequent non-U.S. visitors are based (in rough order) in (1) the United Kingdom, (2) India, (3) China, (4) the Philippines, (5) Germany, (6) Canada, (7) France, (8) Belgium, (9) Spain, (10) Italy, (11) Japan, (12) Singapore, (13) Hong Kong, (14) the Netherlands, and (15) Australia.
To celebrate our one-year anniversary, the founding editors were asked to identify their favorite posts from our first year. Each editor’s list appears below.
Our goal for the coming year is to continue to write timely, insightful, and illuminating posts on a range of issues relating to transnational litigation. Thank you for reading.
