9/11 Review

The Institute for Global Security Law and Policy at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law offers this occasion-appropriate installment of Blawg Review.

Flickrtics

Thanks to Jason Schultz, fair use not only has a posse, it has a Flickr group:

A place to post photos where you are not the copyright holder of the photo or imagery in the photo but still genuinely believe it to be a fair use, e.g., a personal non-commercial use, an artistic transformative use, or for purposes of parody/commentary/criticism. (There are many other forms of fair use but those are the most common).

Poddy Training

September 28: The Podcast Academy (video). I'm the legal department.

September 29-30: The Podcast and Portable Media Expo. The legal department grows, and has both a wiki and a forum — please contribute, we'd love to hear from you.

Dean Tootin' (aka Today's New Blawg)

Lawrence R. Velvel of the Massachusetts School of Law pulls no punches about his thoughts on the Seventh Circuit's recent decision in a case involving IBM's pension plan. He thinks it's "abominable," and a product of "the dishonesty one reviles and the federal judiciary about which one rarely writes." He explains why, then follows up, on his blog. (Dean Velvel is also a podcaster.)

By the way, Dean Velvel is the first blogging law school dean I've yet encountered. If there are others, do let me know.
