Three Times In One Week!

(We late-thirties married types are proud out of all proportion whenever we can make such a claim.) The last of this week's blawgrollees mostly came my way from Blawg.org (which also mentions the ABA Litigation Section's RSS feed, via Robert Ambrogi, by way of Tom Mighell—neat! Are there more ABA feeds? Are they listed anywhere?):

• Concur In Part either is the joint effort of two law students who go by Reason and Jophiel, or one law student named Jophiel who intermittently is interrupted by the Voice of Reason. I haven't quite decided, but I have decided you should pay them/him a visit.


• Amy Campbell has a Weblog at Harvard, as well as a marketing business (Infoworks!), and in her spare time she helps law firms create award winning newsletters.


• If you've got to have a pseudonym, make it an entertaining one. Like Omnibus Bill, "just another Beltway lawyer," who writes Crimen Falsi and may or may not answer with a Dead Kennedys lyric should you greet him on the street.


• Fragrant Lotus practices law in New York City and remarks on the uncanny staying power of the Swatch.


• Janell Grenier is a benefits and ERISA lawyer in Pennsylvania, and as far as I know is the first to cut a bloggy swath through that particular legal briarpatch.


• Maize-N-Bluebook attends the University of Michigan Law School.


• And in case you thought only the judges were curmudgeonly, The Curmudgeonly Clerk seeks to dispel that misconception.

Finally, blawg news continues to hit my radar the old-fashioned way (links and email). I think I just flashed on the meaning of the title of Joe's blog, B2FXXX (that, or I'm hopelessly depraved), where he writes about law, the Internet and society, and the Baseball Crank emailed to confess he's a lawyer who from time to time will blog about things legal.

I'm off to Eureka, California—not to partake of the Hemp or other secondhand effects of Humboldt State's commencement festivities (though it probably couldn't hurt), but to wish my grandmother-in-law a very happy 80th birthday. Have a delightful weekend.

FeE-Filing?

Interesting article by Tom O'Connor at law.com: "Forward Movement for E-Filing?" The piece mostly discusses new .Net/LegalXML efforts from Microsoft and BearingPoint (press release), and mentions that surcharges for paper court filings may be on the horizon:

Some suggest that the best way to push e-filing to reality is to start charging for filing paper, as banks are doing with checks, and airlines with tickets. Courts may eventually have to do this to discourage paper filings and pay for electronic filing systems.

A 2001 article from the same author, "It's Still Slow Go For E-Filing," provides more context.

Law Is A Conversation

My firm's head of Web marketing will be coming to the ClickZ Weblog Business Strategies Conference.

Ready, Set...

TiVo. Tomorrow's The Screen Savers features Professor Lessig, Buffy, an iTunes tour and the Blog Report. (Cognitive dissonance my hiney.)

Cool link, same source, America 24/7: "an all-digital event that will capture extraordinary pictures of an ordinary American week." I want to see some of Shelley's masterpieces in there.

As long as we're talking telly, I must note that our TiVo—you know how they do that creepy mind-of-their-own thing, right? 'cause we certainly never would program it to seek out such intellectually desiccated fare—seems unable to get enough, by turns, of Trinny and Susannah, and Cousin Stevie. (Hmm, supposing Trinny and Susannah were to give wardrobe advice to Cousin Stevie?)

Flurrious Blawging

This batch comes to us from the Blawg Ring:

• Soon to be second year law student Bekah of Mixtape Marathon just finished exams and seems to have some interesting transcendental traits such as channeling the consciences of law professors and shifting Chinese animal signs at will.


• Meg of babybluebubbles is pursuing her Bachelor of Laws at the University of Hong Kong and has the photos (and surgical mask) to prove it.


• Justin's background is in politics, policy and economics, and he'll return to law school this fall after having taken a break for, y'know, life.


• Luke's a law student at Deakin University. (From the "learn something new every day" department: .tk is the domain for Tokelau.)


• Rich Zmijewski is cramming for the LSAT on June 9, but that didn't keep him from catching Matrix Reloaded last night.


• Timothy Sandefur of the Pacific Legal Foundation is an Objectivist but not a Randian. (Just so we're clear.)


• Daniel Goldberg is a law clerk for a judge in Austin, Texas, and enjoys light reading and writing on the subjects of "health policy, medical ethics, philosophy of science, hermeneutics, Kafka, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein." (He's more proof too of the strange but strong correlation between fans of hermeneutics and fans of Buffy.)


• Bart at The Limits of its Logic analyzes legal decisions, commentary, and issues. (And since he arranged that list using a serial comma, I have followed suit.)


• The Ambulance Chaser recently finished 1L exams.


• Aaron at Spicy Sashimi also is a law student somewhere in the wide world.

And yet more to come...
