Legal Affairs noted: "Polling is a tricky science, but we were heartened by the strong sample size we received. Nearly 5,000 voters weighed in to tell us whose ideas are shaping today's legal culture. Results are of course always influenced by how you ask your question and who shows up to answer it. Our format, soliciting votes on the Internet, certainly seems to have skewed our results. Thanks to the wonders of the all-seeing Internet, we were able to notice that a great many voters arrived at our cyberspace polling station directly from the doorstep of a short list of mostly conservative legal blogs."
