John Wilbanks posted a progress update on the Science Commons blog yesterday. Excerpt:

Thanks to Dan Hunter's tireless work, the Science Commons Open Access Law (OAL) program has converted its 31st law journal to the open access model...the Brooklyn Law Review is the most recent convert. It joins a growing, international community of institutions and journals embracing open access to legal theory.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
