The Volokh Conspiracy (/ˈvɑːlək/ VOL-ik) is a blog, founded in 2002, covering legal and political issues from an ideological orientation it describes as "generally libertarian, conservative, centrist, or some mixture of these."
Its name is a joking reference to Hillary Clinton's reference to a "vast right-wing conspiracy". In 2007, Andy Guess of the Inside Higher Ed wrote that it was "one of the most widely read legal blogs in the United States" and that it "probably has more influence in the field – and more direct impact – than most law reviews."
According to Adam Teicholz of The Atlantic, The Volokh Conspiracy, among other blogs, played an important role in influencing the view of Americans against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In 2013, The Volokh Conspiracy appeared in ABA Journal's "Blawg 100 Hall of Fame".
In January 2014, The Volokh Conspiracy migrated to the The Washington Post, and was moved behind a paywall in June 2014 although it can still be viewed for free via RSS.The Volokh Conspiracy retains full editorial control over its content.
