lawyerschile: Five Uses for a Kindle in a Law Practicers

Five Uses for a Kindle in a Law Practice

OK, so I realize that most of you are probably coveting a Kindle, Amazon.com's digital book device. But you haven't yet figured out how to justify its cost as a business expense when you're planning on using it to read novels on the beach, right?

Thankfully, Justin Rebello of the Wisconsin Law Journal gives you five ways that you can use the Kindle for your law office. First, the Kindle can be used to read deposition transcripts and make notes on the screen via an online content manager. Second, lawyers can load documents onto the Kindle using a digital text self-publishing tool and take them home for review. Third... [MORE]

lawyerschile: Supreme Court Upholds Voting Rights Act

Supreme Court Upholds Voting Rights Act

By an 8-1 ruling in Northwest Austin Munic. Util. Dist. v. Holder, the Supreme Court today declined to address the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, keeping the law alive for a future challenge, reports Tony Mauro at The National Law Journal. For those who haven't followed the case, Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act requires a number of states and local governments, mostly in the South, to seek federal permission before changing their voting procedures, explains The New York Times. Although the majority decision, written by Chief Justice Roberts, identified the statute's many constitutional infirmities, the Court chose the path of "constitutional avoidance." The Court sidestepped the constitutional question because of the existence of an alternative resolution, in this case, the Texas utility district's ability to try and convince a three judge panel that it was exempt from Section 5.

If you are in law school, you could probably use an extra $10,000 right about now. Well, if you have a video camera or know where to borrow one, here is your chance to win that much money or one of five $1,500 honorable mentions. All you have to do is make a brief video that describes your inspiration for going to law school.

The My Inspiration contest is a repeat of last year's One Less Worry Contest (which we wrote about here and here). Sponsored by Access Group, a nonprofit student loan company, the contest's rules are simple: Produce a video of no more than four minutes and upload it to YouTube by July 15, 2009.

Amid Controversy, DePaul Names Interim Dean

The latest news to come out of DePaul University College of Law is that it has named a new dean, Illinois Appellate Court Judge Warren D. Wolfson. But that merely begs the question: What happened to the former dean, Glen Weissenberger?

It is a question many students, faculty, alumni and bloggers are asking in the wake of Weissenberger's hasty dismissal last week by University Provost Helmut Epp. Supporters have launched a petition drive for his reinstatement and started a Facebook group in his support. The Chicago Tribune reports that within three hours of the petition's posting, more than 200 faculty, students and and alumni had signed it.

The uproar is due not just to the former dean's popularity, but also to the circumstances of his dismissal. Law Librarian Blog summarizes what is believed to have happened... [MORE]
