It declares, among other things that: "Public legal information is digital common property and should be accessible to all on a non-profit basis and free of charge"

"Ask yourself: why would society tolerate a legal profession that outsources all its professional obligations to someone else? What value does such a profession provide? Why would anyone need or even want a lawyer if this is all a lawyer is good for?" #lawprofs #LawFedi

This is a long shot, but any #academics or #lawprofs have a textbook on public law (statutes, regulations, and interpretation) they like?
Even more of a long shot, one they think could be used for an undergraduate class?
FWIW I'm currently looking at this: https://www.westacademic.com/Eskridge-Gluck-and-Nourses-Statutes-Regulation-and-Interpretation-Legislation-and-Adm-9780314273567

As much as I personally hate using it, I think we're going to have to create an account for the center on LinkedIn. What else, if anything, should we be thinking about? #LawProfs #LawFedi

Fellow profs (especially law profs), I'm curious:
If you wanted to find all the articles a particular scholar had written, how would you go about doing that?

Fellow #LawProfs: Do you have a question you find yourself asking over and over when you are commenting on other peoples' drafts?
Mine is: Is this a patent paper or a utility patent paper?

Maybe #LawProfs can chime in. How do I find US court cases in which a media outlet was sued for defamation for reporting "A driver struck X" instead of "A car struck X"?

We have gotten the collection Classical Rhetoric & Contemporary Law: A Critical Reader over the finish line. An accessible text for scholars and students (#LawProfs, #argumentation, #LegalWriting, #TeamRhetoric)—and curious lawyers in #LawFedi. Introduces the complex relationship between ancient western thought and contemporary law and the long history of some rhetorical concepts and practices that advocates and judges are still using today (not always for the better). https://www.uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/classical-rhetoric-and-contemporary-law/

"Classes teach you all about advanced topics within CS, from operating systems to machine learning, but there’s one critical subject that’s rarely covered, and is instead left to students to figure out on their own: proficiency with their tools."Does any one know if there's an equivalent for #lawyers? #LawFedi #lawprofs #inhouse
