Justia Law Review

Hi Friends,

Cicely and I made a presentation to the Stanford Law School Advanced Legal Research class today. There was a law librarian Liza MacMorris from Wilson Sonsini who gave students the reality of research working at a large law firm and a guy from Bloomberg who gave details on Bloomberg's plan to run for President and showed their docket search (which seemed kind of like Justia's Free Federal Court Civil Filings Search + a Pacer account for the documents, but Bloomberg also has runners who will get dockets that are not in the system and is tied into other investor and legal information and of course it costs money). Well he certainly hinted that Bloomberg might run, although like most New York Republicans, he more suited to run as a Democrat.

We covered the free part of alternatives to paid Lexis and West. California is in pretty good shape for free information. We focused on free sources like LexisOne and Cornell, as well as some inexpensive alternatives like FastCase and VersusLaw. And of course quite a bit of focus on blogs.

Peace,

Tim

And here is little Sheba the Hug Pug when she visited Stanford Law School a while ago :)

Hi Friends,

As promised... here is the Conrad Johnson - Jimi Hendrix montage of multimedia, legal education and Google.

As you may know, Conrad runs the Lawyering in the Digital Age Clinic at Columbia Law School. He also plays guitar.

Conrad talks about his Creating Multi-Purpose Content for the Web article on the Jurist site and Jimi Hendrix, while Bernard, Nancy Rapoport and John Palfrey look on.

Like Jimi... Conrad is also a guitar player..

Here is a closer shot :)

Conrad explains that thanks to his article and Google search results, he is now seen as the guitar playing professor.

Conrad's Jurist article ranks high in the Google world for Conrad Johnson Jimi Hendrix :)

Check out Columbia's Lawyering in the Digital Age Clinic and their use of technology for tenant rights.

Peace,
