Virtual Courthouse

Interesting article here [from the ABA Journal eReport] about guidelines recently approved for in-person and online access to state court records. More from Rory Perry. The guidelines discussed are distinct from the draft Standards for Electronic Filing Processes highlighted by Rory earlier (128 page PDF).

Diversionary Tactics

Awhile back, Will Cox clued me in to the fact you can scroll through entries at Blog Hot Or Not using the "law" keyword. This, unlike spending some quality time with Howard's blog, almost certainly would not pass muster as legal research.

--Aside: funny that David Goguen and I immediately seized on the pathetic tip and the wonders of working for the San Diego Police Department as the salient aspects of this decision [PDF]. [Via Howard]

Surrender

From yoga this morning:

"Surrender" is difficult. We confuse it with "succumb," but it's not. It's allowing yourself to recognize when you are imagining the threat.

~Happy Labor Day~

Reach Out And Sue Someone

Chapter 3 of Professor Lessig's Code begins with the following quote from David Johnson and David Post ["Law and Borders -- The Rise of Law In Cyberspace," Stanford Law Review 48 (1996): 1367, 1375]:

The rise of an electronic medium that disregards geographical boundaries throws the law into disarray by creating entirely new phenomena that need to become the subject of clear legal rules but that cannot be governed, satisfactorily, by any current territorially based sovereign.
Six years later the Net jurisdiction rules remain in flux, but by year-end the California Supreme Court will weigh in with its opinion in Pavlovich v. Superior Court. (More links here.) Oral argument is this Thursday.

I'm going to attend the argument, and will have more here Thursday or Friday depending on time and access. (Think anyone's warchalked the Court?)
