LAWYERSCHILE. Attention YouTubers: Texas Bar Wants You

Attention YouTubers: Texas Bar Wants You

Think you have some talent as a filmmaker? If so, the eyes of the State Bar of Texas are upon you. It is sponsoring a YouTube contest offering cash prizes and scholarships for the best 30-second video showing why either lawyers or the courts are important to our society.

Two years ago, the Texas bar became the first-ever bar association to hold a YouTube contest. In that first go-around, the bar awarded a $2,500 cash prize and two $2,500 scholarships for short videos depicting the theme, "Lone Star Stories: Texans on Justice."

Mass. Disbars Former House Speaker

Thomas M. Finneran, the former speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, was disbarred yesterday for lying under oath in a federal voting rights lawsuit. In ordering the disbarment, the Supreme Judicial Court rejected Finneran's contention that he should be given lighter discipline because his false testimony was unrelated to his practice of law.

We have generally concluded that crimes ... involving interference with the administration of justice generally do not qualify for a lesser sanction on the ground that the lawyer was not representing a client or directly engaged in the practice of law at the relevant time. ...

Law Library of Congress: Now on YouTube

There are few more venerable institutions within the legal profession than the Law Library of Congress.

Jurors' Internet Research Could Zap Taser Verdict

Lawyers in Louisville, Ky., are asking a federal judge to set aside a jury verdict exonerating a police officer in a Taser-related death because they say the jury foreman researched the case on the Internet and used what he found to sway other jurors.

In a Dec. 4 verdict, the jury cleared one officer and was unable to reach a verdict on another, The Courier-Journal reports. Attorneys representing the estate of the victim, Larry Noles, say a juror contacted them and alleged that at least two other jurors, including the foreman, consulted the Web site of Taser International.

The juror who called the attorneys later... [MORE]
