Introduction
- Josh haz iPad 2! Spoiler alert: don’t get one if you already have a first generation iPad.
- Laura applied for the bar exam. Would it be possible to disclose more personal info that was in that envelope?
- Laura selected a non-Barbri review course, thanks in large part to their earlier rather spammy comment on an earlier ‘cast.
In the News
- US News Rankings are out and Emory is not too happy with their score.
- So apparently there are Vietnamese restaurants in Sioux City? ATL reports Judge Mark Bennett is looking for some, er, hard working clerks.
- See also Judge Bennett’s biography.
- Twitter denied trademark in “tweet” yet again.
- NYTimes finally gets the long-expected paywall. Not sure how effectively it will be implemented: will clearing cache work, will everyone need a login, or will it be based on IP?
- Have you noticed less spam in your inbox lately? That’s because traffic from Rustock, one of the worst spam networks, has ceased.
You’re Doing it Wrong
- Josh and Laura discuss their adventures in selecting a case management system, when you have none. Turns out most lawyers fail to consult people who know what they’re talking about or have at least tested out the system.
