KiMformationPulling needles out of haystacks . . .A Matter of Priorities- March 18, 2003 I didn't really intend to be away for a whole week; it just happened that way. When your life is a juggling act (and whose isn't), and the balls you've been tossing suddenly start hitting you on the head, it's time to reassess priorities. I've been busy tending to prior personal commitments (you know, things like my marriage, job, health, and family), but will hopefully be back on the blogging track soon. Just on the off-chance that someone in the blogosphere actually.http://radio.weblogs.com/0114894/2003/03/18.html#a163 (Untitled)- March 12, 2003 In response to Ernie's call for assistance (thanks, Ernie), I received with gratitude the following great links: From M. Sean Fosmier: "Please visit our Courts.net site, where all web sites for all courts are linked, and where we provide information on electronic filing issues and privacy issues." This site bills itself as the "nation's court directory," and there's lots of useful information here about the courts and electronic filing. From Carolyn Elefant, of...http://radio.weblogs.com/0114894/2003/03/11.html#a160 Thanks for the mention . . .- March 11, 2003 . . . to Naked Ownership for this post, in response to my recent post about the status of online access to Louisiana state court records. Thanks, also, to Tim Hadley, of Math Class for Poets: Law and Life, for the info on online access to court records in Colorado and Wisconsin, which gave me the idea that I should start compiling links here to online state court resources throughout the country -- hoping, of course, that some of you blawgers across the land will help me along by...http://radio.weblogs.com/0114894/2003/03/10.html#a159 RSS Search Engine- March 11, 2003 The as-yet-un-renamed search engine (formerly referred to by the working name "Roogle") created by The FuzzyGroup to monitor and index RSS feeds is up and running. Très cool! This was first announced on Scott Johnson's The FuzzyBlog! just Friday, March 7th, and changes and improvements have been coming at an amazing pace (do these guys ever sleep). And I was oh-so-pleased to find that the RSS feed for KiMformation was already found and listed. The name thing,.http://www.fuzzygroup.com/roogle/ Paralegal Blog Alert- March 9, 2003 Ernie introduced me (via e-mail from SXSW) to a paralegal blogger he met last night (and a weblog-award-nominated paralegal blogger, at that). Her name is Christine Selleck, from Houston, and her blog is called Big Pink Cookie: Taking the Blah Out of the Blog. I visited Christine's really nice blog and was intrigued when I saw that some of her posts are restricted (you have to e-mail her for permission to read them). I'd never seen this before, and so when I...http://www.bigpinkcookie.com/ WordPerfect for Windows Bates Number Label Macro- March 9, 2003 I'm long overdue in posting WordPerfect for Windows tips, as promised. A very good resource that you should put into WatchThatPage or bookmark (apparently, no RSS feed) is Barry MacDonnell's Toolbox for WordPerfect for Windows. There are tons of useful tips, free downloads (macros, templates, etc.) and links. For example, if you're still using a messy, antiquated manual Bates-number stamper (guaranteed to give you an arm ache and you and everyone working in your vicinity..http://radio.weblogs.com/0114894/2003/03/09.html#a153 Phoenix Envy- March 9, 2003 I recently worked on a civil litigation matter pending in the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona. I was amazed at the free information available on the court's website. For example, you can search the civil litigation index and obtain case information, party information, the docket sheet, the case calendar, and a listing of any judgments entered. Additionally, you can access minute entries online in PDF format. Isn't it time for the Louisiana Clerks of..http://radio.weblogs.com/0114894/2003/03/09.html#a152 Contemplating Licensing- March 9, 2003 For a thoughtful and concise assessment of copyright considerations in general and the Creative Commons license in particular, see Tim Hadley's post, Contemplating Licensing, on his blog, Math Class for Poets: Law and Life. This is a continuation of Tim's recent (and very welcome) series on the Creative Commons license. Tim characterizes this post as a "draft" that will be updated in the future. So far, he has four categories of considerations: "Enabling the Rapid...http://blog.tph-lex.com/archives/weekly/week_2003_03_02.html#000127 Managing Electronic Documents in Litigation: Step by Step- March 9, 2003 I put together this handout, in outline format, for a recent presentation to a group of paralegals, attorneys, and secretaries at my firm's New Orleans office. It talks about using CaseMap 4.0 and Adobe Acrobat 5.0 to manage electronic documents in litigation. Because it was meant to go along with an oral presentation, it could be a bit cryptic, but I thought I'd go ahead and put it out here. I'll be updating and fine-tuning this outline (created in NoteMap) from time to time,.http://radio.weblogs.com/0114894/images/managing%20electronic%20documents.htm I'm back . . .- March 9, 2003 I'm back from my quickie trip to Florida, where I trained to become a CaseMap Certified Trainer. (As it turns out, I will have to take a test, via telephone, in the next couple of weeks before I will actually be "certified.") I'd never been behind the doors of a real software company, so it was really neat from that aspect alone. I received a very warm welcome from the great folks at CaseSoft, and I got to meet several of the people I've heard about, exchanged e-mail...http://radio.weblogs.com/0114894/2003/03/09.html#a148 |
