Who is Juan NonVolokh? Mike Rappaport

Over at the Conspiracy, they are guessing who Juan Non Volokh will turn out to be.  His or her name will soon be revealed. 

The leading candidate is Jonathan Adler.  I had originally thought it might be him, especially given JNV’s environmental law interest, but Adler was blogging by name for National Review.  I think I may have even had a conversation with him about who he thought JNV might be, and I think he mentioned some possibilities.  At that point, I did not think he was JNV.  But in the last year, I have gradually come to the view that it is Jonathan, although I can’t really explain why he would be anonymous at Volokh, but not at NRO.  (Perhaps liberals law profs are more likely to read Volokh than NRO.)
