Thanks to its sensitivity (4 10-9 ph (E> 100 MeV) cm-2 s-1 for one year), the GLAST LAT should detect many more (up to several thousands) gamma-ray blazars than currently known. This large blazar sample will make detailed population studies possible. In addition, the LAT large field-of-view combined with the scanning mode will provide a very uniform exposure over the whole sky. This feature will allow a continuous monitoring of several tens of blazars and enable flare alerts to be issued. The poster will present the LAT performance relevant to blazar studies, more particularly related to timing and spectral properties. Major specific issues regarding the blazar phenomenon that the LAT data should shed light on thanks to these capabilities will be discussed. The poster will also describe the different approaches foreseen to address these issues. The associated data required in other bands, to be collected in contemporaneous/simultaneous multiwavelength campaigns will be mentioned as well.
