One of the great things that Radio does is create an XML feed of this weblog. ( The XML version of this site is here.) Anyone who owns a copy of Radio can “subscribe” to this feed – Radio will monitor the XML file and anytime there is new content, it will display the new…

Reading this article makes you think of Jon Lovitz as Michael Dukakis: “I can’t believe I’m losing to this guy.” How do these companies stay in business? (Answer: some don’t. Others shouldn’t.)

This recent article on LLRX.com, by Denise Howell, documents emerging best practices in web publishing for judges, lawyers, and courts, focusing on the use of simple weblog technology.   I read Denise’s weblog, Bag and Baggage, regularly, and appreciate the opportunity to learn from her professional interests and explorations.…

Many thanks to Martin Roell for this pointer (you can click the “translate to English” button in the upper left; it makes the whole experience far more understandable for us non-German speakers). It turns out that a German court is now accepting filings via e-mail, and will even allow those documents to be submitted in XML. In…

The Samuelson Law, Technology and Public Policy clinic, and U.C. Berkeley’s School of Information Management & Systems … have put up a searchable BriefBank for “law, technology and public policy” cases.
