We have gone through our links on the LawPundit law blogroll to update URLs and to provide selected recent information about those linked websites or blogs. This posting covers Links on the LawPundit Main Page : (2) (b) The Law Blogroll - B:
Bag and Baggage by Denise M. Howell (who coined the term "blawg) writes at Always that "Talking about sex is a picnic compared to this stuff." We see she has discovered Gaping Void (right column).
Balkinization has expanded (left column). Interesting is the post Predicting Presidential Elections, 2008 Edition, referring to the work of Yale economist Ray Fair and his "econocentric" econometric formula.
Bank Law Blog (.uk) looks at banking in England, like Running onto the Rock? in the aftermath of the Northern Rock scandal.
Becker-Posner Blog takes on Mr. Money in Bill Gates on Corporate Philanthropy--Posner.
Bibliotheksrecht, Library Law in German by Eric Steinhauer, who has a Doctor of Laws degree. For those of our readers who speak or read German, Eric Steinhauer is a German librarian
(Dr. jur. Eric W. Steinhauer, Bibliotheksrat an der Bibliothek der Technischen Universität in Ilmenau/Thür : Librarian, Technical University of Ilmenau; Lecturer for Library Law, Bavarian Library School/Bavarian State Library in Munich, Germany ) who has two blogs, Bibliotheksrecht (Library Law) and Skriptorium, and a website Bibliotheksrecht und Bibliothekswesen focusing on library law, library science and academic publication. Among his own publications is the presentation in English, "Digital library services and the amended copyright act in Germany", 20 November 2007, International Round Table "Digital Libraries and Copyright", Riga, Latvia.
Binary Law ("Legal Information in the Digital Age") has a recent posting we particularly like creatively called DIG it, among other things quoting K. Krasnow Waterman, as Binary Law (Nick Holmes) writes in what he calls "High-level stuff for you digital lawyers":
"K has also blogged recently on “accountability appliances” (artificial intelligence as applied to legal and regulatory rules).
Blawg Search (Justia) has a law blog directory and the ability to search legal blogs.
Blickpunkt Recht & Steuern is a German blog in German on law and taxes by Udo Meisen. Interesting for this writer as a resident of the Rhineland-Palatinate and as a cigarillo smoker - especially in pubs and combined with a good German beer - is the posting Weiterrauchen in Rheinland-Pfalz, where Meisen writes that a limited temporary restraining order regarding execution of the new non-smoking law has been issued by the Constitutional Court of the Rhineland-Palatinate (Verfassungsgerichtshof Rheinland-Pfalz) (Leitsatz, Beschluss VGH A 32/07 u.a.) to the new near blanket non-smoking law applicable in all public buildings and in all pubs and restaurants effective February 15, 2008.
That law does however permit pubs and restaurants to set up separate small rooms for smokers, but some pubs consist of only one small room so that setting up a smaller separate room is impossible, for which reason the law had been challenged by such pub owners. This has now brought them temporary success, as a temporary restraining order was issued until the constitutionality of the law, which has been challenged, is determined. The temporary restraining order to the execution of the non-smoking law applies only to one-room pubs run by single proprietors, who must however put up a special sign at the door warning visitors that they are a legal temporarily allowed smoking pub. The order is subject to extension after 3 months. The decision, in German, is found here, with our excerpt of the main operative text in German below:
"Auf die Anträge der Beschwerdeführer zu 2) bis 6) wird das Inkrafttreten von § 7 des Nichtraucherschutzgesetzes Rheinland-Pfalz vom 5. Okto¬ber 2007 (GVBl. S. 188) bis zur Entscheidung über die Verfassungsbeschwerden insoweit einstweilen ausgesetzt, als die Vorschrift sich auch auf Ein-Raum-Gaststätten erstreckt, die ausschließlich inhabergeführt sind. Derartige Gaststätten dürfen einstweilen in der bisherigen Art weiterbetrieben werden, wenn neben der Betreiberin/dem Betreiber keine weiteren Personen als Beschäftigte oder als Selbständige im laufenden Gastronomiebetrieb tätig sind, es sei denn, dass es sich hierbei lediglich um eine Mithilfe von volljährigen Familienmitgliedern der Betreiberin/des Betreibers handelt. Diese Gaststätten müssen ferner am Eingangsbereich deutlich sichtbar auf die Raucherlaubnis hinweisen.
Diese einstweilige Anordnung gilt mit der Möglichkeit der Verlängerung gemäß § 19a VerfGHG zunächst für die Dauer von drei Monaten. "
BLOG@IP::JUR is a blog by Axel Horns ("Dipl.-Phys. Axel H Horns is Patentanwalt (German Patent Attorney), European Patent Attorney as well as European Trade Mark Attorney") writing in English on Intellectual Property Law, for example, a recent posting on Patents on Computer-Implemented Inventions: UK Courts Inching Towards EPO Positions?
Brett Trout posts on patents, trademark and copyright issues. Read his take on the current state of patents at It's Hard Out Here for a Patentee.
Stuart Buck at The Buck Stops Here in New Paper on Judicial Bias comments on Blinking on the Bench: How Judges Decide Cases and points to "other studies showing the effect of anchoring bias in judicial decisionmaking". This is very useful information for litigators or, for that matter, for anyone who in negotiations of any kind, written or oral, faces someone who is a decision-maker or plays a role in making decisions affecting the negotiator.

"K has also blogged recently on “accountability appliances” (artificial intelligence as applied to legal and regulatory rules).
The law is a world of intense structure [but] the lawyers valued most highly are not those who are most structured. Instead, it is those who are most creative at manipulating the structure - conjuring compelling arguments for extending a concept or reading existing law with just enough of a different light to convince others that something unexpected supersedes something expected. … an accountability appliance we build now should address the former and not the latter."Blawg Review views itself as a Carnival of Law Bloggers.
