Links on the LawPundit Main Page : (2) (q,r,s) The Law Blogroll - Blawgs Beginning with the Letters Q,R and S
A blockbuster, if true (why are we always so skeptical about pre-event reports?): Simon Fodden at slaw.ca in Nine Lords A'Blogging writes that the British House of Lords according to Lord of the Blog starts blogging tomorrow, March 17, 2008 at the similarly named Lords of the Blog as a 6-month public relations experiment. At the time this post written, there was nothing at that website yet, but if true, we will be reading....
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) (q,r,s) The Law Blogroll - Q, R, S:
Did you catch the SXSW Music Conference and Festival?
Reasonable Balance is the blog of attorney Nancy Prager, whose posting Wednesday, March 12, a great day of learning at SXSW (if I may say so) informed us (we are a bit late here, sorry, but we did want to post this for the benefit of the musicians out there....):
"On Wednesday, March 12, I am presenting the Red Flags in Contracts panel at SXSW for musicians, and other interested parties. My co-panelists, John P. Strohm and David Prasse, and I will highlight terms, provisions and issues which should raise concern for artists when they review contracts. The goal is to provide a general overview so that musicians will find reading contracts less taxing and be better prepared to spot issues that may lurk within them."
Law Students Building a Better Legal Profession have not posted since December 4, 2007 at their Refirmation blog.
Rule of Law is a blog by Stan Rule in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. His explanation for his blog is worth repeating here (excerpted):
"“Rule of Law” is both a play on my name, and a statement of my values. The rule of law is a foundation for both our liberties and for order. The rule of law respects us as equals. It allows us to organize our lives, plan our futures, and resolve disputes in a rational way. There are those around the world and throughout history who have fought in great struggles for the rule of law....
In this blog, I write about some of the legal topics that I deal with in my law practice, and about other legal issues that interest me. In doing so, I hope that I help others learn more about law, and that I encourage discussion about law and law reform. I hope that, in some small way, I help nurture the rule of law."
Somehow, that just caught our attention - in a very positive way. Nomen est omen.
The Russian Law Blog seems to have stopped posting at the end of 2007. That is a shame.
Sander Gelsing in Canada writes the blog Now, Why Didn't I Think of That? and recently posted about the exploding patent workload of judges, especially in pharmaceutical cases, in Drugs are a (patent) lawyer’s best friend?
The Supreme Court of the United States Blog (SCOTUSblog) has become a staple in the legal blogging community for keeping up on what is doing at the Supremes.
The Seattle Trademark Lawyer points out in Utah Repeals Keyword Advertising Ban that "Internet Federalism" may not work as well as some thought it would.
The Singapore Law Blog informs us that Singapore and Vietnam "signed a Memorandum of Understanding ... on legal and judicial cooperation."
SIVACRACY.NET in Goodbye, tenure-track faculty in a posting by Ted Striphas wonders about the following:
"Every other year, data released by the Education Department’s National Center for Education Statistics provide a snapshot of the growth of part-time positions in the professoriate. This year — an off-year for that data — the federal statistics provide evidence for another shift, in which the majority of full-time professional employees in higher education are in administrative rather than faculty job."
Perhaps this old joke about replacing a light bulb in the ceiling would explain what is happening. You need one person to hold the light bulb, one person to hold the ladder, and four people to turn the ladder.
Sports Law covers mostly sports of course, but do read Legal Opinions For Free for a different twist.
Go Links. Go Big Red. Go Cardinal. Our education from the Red & Black Links of Lincoln High School, to the Big Red Huskers of Nebraska to the Cardinal of Stanford is the path of the red. And as we learn at the Sports Economist in Do red shirts lead to more wins? it may in fact be that red is a winning color. Just look at what Tiger Woods wears - on the 4th day of tournaments - and how he plays in those tournaments.
Update: we add the following YouTube Video AFTER our posting:
Sports Law Blog has something strange at Harvard's Women-Only Gym Hours.
Square Mile Law talked recently about Banking and Legal Recruitment.
Southern Appeal has a very interesting law blogroll by categories. Take a look.
Start Making Sense is a blog by Daniel Shaviro, Wayne Perry Professor of Taxation at New York University Law School. He has a recent posting on the Tax policy colloquium on EC tax policy.
Strategic Legal Technology posted recently on Legal Outsourcing (LPO) Consolidation - The Beginning
The Susan Crawford blog has moved since the last time we looked at it. The most recent posting at Thursday Links contains some good news about an FCC that is in serious need of reform:
"The House Commerce committee investigation of the FCC continues. According to the Washington Post, a detailed letter signed by Rep. Dingell has gone out to the FCC asking for a host of documents that (among other things) relate to “management practices that may adversely affect the Commission’s ability both to discharge effectively its statutory duties and to guard against waste, fraud, and abuse.” "
The SW Virginia law blog posts on the very current topic of Florida and Michigan as follows:
"Watching the events unfold in the campaign, I have had cause to recollect that the Supreme Court has already ruled in Cousins v. Wigoda, 419 U.S. 477 (1975), and Democratic Party of U.S. v. Wisconsin ex rel. La Follette, 450 U.S. 107 (1981), that the Illinois state courts got it wrong "in according primacy to state law over the National Political Party's rules in the determination of the qualifications and eligibility of delegates to the Party's National Convention" with respect to the dispute over the seating of the Illinois delegation to the Democratic National Convention and, with respect to the Wisconsin delegation to the 1980 Democratic National Convention, that Wisconsin could not "compel the National Party to seat a delegation chosen in a way that violates the rules of the Party.""
