In 2007, Inside Higher Ed wrote that it "probably has more influence in the field and more direct impact than most law reviews."[1]
As of 2011, the Volokh Conspiracy was the most-visited academic blog published by law professors[6] and gets an average of approximately 25,000 unique visitors on weekdays.[citation needed]
The Volokh Conspiracy was credited as having influenced a partially successful constitutional challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[7][8] The Volokh Conspiracy is one of the blogs that is in the ABA Journal's Blawg 100 Hall of Fame.[9]
In January 2014, the Volokh Conspiracy has migrated to the Washington Post as part of an attempt to reach a larger audience.[9] In June 2014, the blog will be behind a paywall.[9]
The Volokh Conspiracy has been criticized for promoting climate change denialism.[10][5]
