Hi All,

A few more free case law items... We have (1) added a database of
Federal District Court Opinions (with full text search) and (2) added
nice icons to the Federal District Courts' Case Filings where we have
an opinion or order, and also added Judge/case-type pages. Add as
always, lot's of RSS feeds.


1. US Federal District Court Opinions with Full Text Search

We have put online the Federal District Court case opinions and
orders that are available using the opinion report in the Federal
Courts' ECF. These are updated daily.

Here is the URL for the Federal District Court Opinions:

http://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/


CATEGORIZATION & RSS FEEDS - We have categorized the opinions by
state, court, type of lawsuit and judge and combinations of judge and
type of lawsuit. You can also subscribe to each of categories through
RSS feeds to track a judge or court's decisions on different issues.
And we also give the cause of action for each case.


FULL TEXT SEARCH - We are using Google's hosted Business Custom
Search Engine (http://www.google.com/enterprise/csbe/) for the full
text search. Google is now OCRing PDF image files, so even PDF files
that have images of scanned documents will be in most cases full text
indexable and searchable. Like the OCR of Google's Book Search. You
will need to look at the cached copy to see the highlighted searched
text though, and then find in the original PDF to be 100% that what
you are reading is correct. Google should be doing a pretty good job
of indexing and ocring these court decisions, although it may take a
few days for a new document to show up in the index.

We allow one to search across all of the documents, or to limit the
search to Federal District Courts in a particular state or an
individual Federal District Court. You can also search by party name,
court and filed date.

We currently have these opinions and orders since 2004 and will be
including those from previous years in the next week or so (there are
not many before 2004 in the ECF system).


DATA LIMITATIONS - This data set does NOT include all of the Federal
District Court opinions.

	 a. Not all of the courts have upgraded to ECF 2.4. So we do
not have opinions for those courts that have not upgraded.

	 b. Not all opinions and orders are included by the Judges. As
is stated on the PACER site

"Written opinions have been defined by the Judicial Conference as
'any document issued by a judge or judges of the court sitting in
that capacity, that sets forth a reasoned explanation for a court's
decision.' The responsibility for determining which documents meet
this definition rests with the authoring judge."

Some judges have chosen not to include any of their opinions in the
opinion report.

	 c. Some scans of are such poor quality that the OCR failed.






2. Us Federal District Court Case Filings Updated with Nice Opinion Icons

We have also noted on the federal district court case filing database
when we have a judge's opinion (you will see a little gavel :). The
case filings are  at:

http://dockets.justia.com

And we have added browse pages and RSS feeds by judge. That should
make it easier to find other cases a particular judge has ruled on
that are covering similar issues (at least at the broad case type
level). Then if we have the opinions or orders online, you can see
what the judge wrote, or you may need to log into the court's ECF
system and obtain the briefs and other filings (and pay a small per
page fee).

The case filings and opinion databases are related, as they both have
Federal Court data, it is just that the opinions database is limited
to those cases where we have opinions.




There are some other free case law projects going on (featured cases
with all filings, resource.org...), but more on those in a later
posting to the list...

Now for the real important stuff... time to go check out those new
touch ipods and video ipod nanos -  http://www.apple.com/ipod/  :)


Peace,

Tim

Basic information about Network-Lawyers aka netLs

Help promote .... all the good things that are happening with Network-Lawyers.
Forward this FAQ to a friend or associate with the suggestion that they
subscribe. Or, better yet, submit the canned article about Network-Lawyers at
http://network-lawyers.org/article to a newsletter or other law or practice
related periodical.

Topic and purpose .... we are legal professionals using the tools of the
Internet to exchange information about the use of the Internet and other
technology in the practice of law.  Our group, its email-based discussion list,
its group weblog and "wiki" are launching pads for our common exploration and
development of new uses and innovation on the Internet and a place for helping
legal professionals who are new to the Internet.

Commercial content .... advertising and marketing of ones own products and
services is _off_ topic except for personal pages at the wiki web where you may
wax eloquent on your page about your law and law related products and services.

Membership .... is limited to lawyers, law students, faculty, legal assistants,
consultants to the profession and other legal professionals with an email based
discussion, a collectively edited weblog and wiki web or collaboration platform.
The group membership is limited to legal professionals.

Wiki web .... home base for the group where all members may create and edit web
pages using an simple full-page editor that works with your browsers.  Currently
web pages at the wiki may be created by any member or members of the group for
any law or law practice related topic or project of interest. This is best place
for new members to get acquainted with Network-Lawyers:

http://network-lawyers.org/

Weblog .... where all members are invited to join in as editors, reporters or
kibitzers. You may subscribe to receive articles by email or by an XML RSS feed.
The weblog is located at:

http://netls.weblog.org/

Email discussion and archives .... email-based discussion list with threaded
messages--messages organized by topic--archives at Gmane newsgroups starting in
June 2003 at:

http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.culture.law.network-lawyers

availability of a file in the file library.  That is the best way to handle
distribution of files.

Moderators .... the co-moderators monitor the postings to the group to see that
the message traffic stays on topic.

Moderation of messages .... The first message or two posted that you post to the
group will be "moderated" by the moderators.  There are seven or eight
co-moderators who share this task so that messages should be approved within a
few hours during the week days and a bit longer for messages posted on holidays
or over a weekend.  Within one or two messages after you surface as an active
participant in the discussions, the moderators, who have lots of other things to
do, will set the message server to automatically forward your messages with out
their approval.

Guidelines .... for additional rules and such see the last FAQ which is several
years old prepared by Lew Rose who founded the discussion group that has evolved
into Network-Lawyers discussion, weblog and wiki web.  What Lew had to say then
is generally applicable now with the exceptions noted above about the messages

In case all the members of this plugged-in group have not yet heard,
the ABA Journal revamped its website late last month: www.abajournal.com

I encourage you to:

-- Forward this e-mail to your colleagues and friends.
-- Sign up for our daily and weekly e-mail newsletters
(www.abajournal.com/subscribe).
-- If you have a blog, mention our site to your readers and add us to
your blawg roll.
-- Visit the site frequently, or even obsessively.

Below is a short description:

The ABA Journal, which is read by more than half the nation's 1.1
million lawyers every month, has radically revamped its website. It
aggregates and filters breaking news from the nation's best legal
journalists and daily analysis from lawyers who are experts in their
fields. It's a place where the legal community can comment about
today's developments, and learn from each other.

The revamped site has three major components:

Law News Now: www.abajournal.com  The home page features the latest
legal news stories, hand selected by our lawyer-journalists. It's
updated continuously every business day with 25-50 summaries of and
links to the most sophisticated legal reporting from around the web. A
quick glance at the top of our home page will tell you the most
important legal stories right now, whether it's today's Supreme Court
decision, this morning's developments in high-profile trials,
yesterday's law firm mega-merger, or Paris Hilton's latest scrape with
the law. If you only want to see the news about your practice area or
state, we've created dozens of topic pages (www.abajournal.com/topics)
that take you directly to the news you need.

The Blawg Directory: www.abajournal.com/blawgs  We've indexed more
than 1,000 blogs written by lawyers who are experts in their practice
areas, with more being added daily. We tell you about the author, what
they cover, and include excerpts from their 10 latest posts. You can
sort the directory by subject, who writes the blog (partners,
associates, judges, law professors, etc.), or by the state or court
they blog about. We even have a list of blogs written by students and
professors at more than 130 law schools. Know of a blog we haven't
included? Tell us about it: www.abajournal.com/blawgs/submit

The Magazine: www.abajournal.com/magazine  The award-winning Journal's
deep analysis of legal trends makes it the nation's most-read and
most-respected legal affairs magazine. We've posted every story from
every issue back through 2005; issues from previous years will be
posted soon. New issues will go online the day they are published, and
they'll be augmented with Web-only exclusives like court opinions,
white papers and interview transcripts that add depth to the printed
stories.

The site also has all the tools you'd expect:

-- Visitors can comment on every story.

-- The list of most-read stories, appearing on almost every page,
shows what the legal community is reading right now.

-- You can e-mail any story to friends and colleagues.

-- Too busy to visit the site? It will deliver the news to you with
our free daily and weekly e-mail newsletters. www.abajournal.com/subscribe

-- Add our news feeds to your RSS feed reader.
www.abajournal.com/subscribe/#rss

-- Keep up with the latest news on your Internet-capable cell phone or
BlackBerry with our mobile edition. www.abajournal.com/subscribe/#mobile

The entire site is free and available to anyone, whether they belong
to the ABA or not.

Hi All,

Well it took a few of months (working mostly on other stuff to come
:), but we finally have the generic stripped down BlawgSearch results
without the Justia BlawgSearch header and footers ready for general
release.

Here is the URL: http://blawgsearch.justia.com/friendsearch.aspx

We are now using AJAX for sending the BlawgSearch results to you
Webpage. It is better than the iframe method because (1) it is easier
(just clip and copy a block of html code) and (2) there is no need to
set the length of the page. The iframe method will still work, but we
are going to push the AJAX method going forward (and I think I have
contacted everyone using the iframe method to switch).

The results can now also fit into a side bar or any defined width
area on a site of blog. As noted before and above... the html will
allow you to just show the results with your own header and footer
(or sidebars). We have also added an id on the results in the html so
you can control the look and feel of the results as well (eg make the
font small if the results are in a blog sidebar).


Here are some examples:
Generic header footer
http://tinyurl.com/29a9s8

Generic header footer with the Civil Rights Category
http://tinyurl.com/yw4ood

Side Bar Example (under the list of blog directories)
http://onward.justia.com/index.html#blawgsearch


And again... here is the url to get the code and try it out:
Here is the URL: http://blawgsearch.justia.com/friendsearch.aspx


Peace,

Tim

Note:  I also changed out the Sheba the Hug Pug examples to use AJAX :)

First up is the one you all know about -- spyware and viruses. In addition
to causing security problems for your computer, they can also significantly
slow down your computer. It's relatively easy to keep viruses and spyware
off your PC, but you've got to be vigilant. It's not just enough to have
anti-virus and anti-spyware software installed; you have to regularly update
the definitions of each program, to make sure you're protected against the
latest threats.

I'm currently using ZoneAlarm's antivirus program, which is provided as part
of the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite (www.zonelabs.com) -- it works
great, and automatically updates itself once a week. If you're looking for
something in the price range of *free*, AVG (http://www.grisoft.com) is one
of the better free antivirus tools available.

With antispyware apps, you also have a choice between free and paid
versions. SpyBot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and Ad-Aware
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/) are two of the best-known free products, and
Windows Defender (http://tinyurl.com/47cus) is a free Microsoft product that
actually works well. My favorite antispyware product, however, will set you
back $30 -- it's Spy Sweeper (http://www.webroot.com) -- it's a fantastic
program.

Once you scan your program for spyware or viruses, you may find something
that your program cannot fix. The major antivirus/spyware companies may
have special fixes for your problem at their sites -- or just go to your
favorite search engine, enter the name of the spyware/virus that's affecting
you along with "removal," and you're likely to get several results with
instructions on how to safely remove the bad item.

News Update -- From the Inter Alia Weblog

All A-Twitter
I really, really want to like Twitter -- and I don't know why. It's a site
that allows you to instantly update anyone on what you happen to be doing,
right now. I'm sure that no one is really interested in knowing when I'm
watching a basketball game or reading a book, but there sure are a lot of
people using this tool, including John Edwards. Then I saw this article on
Eight Ways Twitter is Used Professionally, and I sat up a bit straighter and
took notice. Maybe Twitter is good for using at technology conferences, as a
good way to keep up with my friends at the conference.
http://www.twitter.com

Blawgs of the Week
Here are a few of the great law-related weblogs I covered on Inter Alia the
past two weeks:
   a.. Involved in Qui Tam lawsuits? Then Qui Tam 101 may be for you -- the
blog is
   designed to keep readers up to date with qui tam-related news on
commentary
   on false claims issues. It's sponsored by the Nolan Law Firm in Fort
   Lauderdale.
   http://www.false-claims-act.net/
   b.. Above The Law is a little bit different than most weblogs -- it's a
legal
   tabloid, reporting on the sometimes seamy, often less professional, but
   always entertaining side of the law.
   http://www.abovethelaw.com/
   c.. Health Plan Law is the blog of Roy Harmon, a lawyer based in
Greenville,
   South Carolina. As you might imagine, he's providing information about
group
   health plans, claims administration, and related ERISA fiduciary issues.
   http://www.healthplanlaw.com/
   d.. R. Lee Barrett is a litigation and bankruptcy lawyer in Fort Worth,
right in
   this blog's backyard. His own blog, E-Everything for Bankruptcy Lawyers,
is
   billed as "the bankruptcy lawyer's source for education, entertainment,
   edification and enhancement involving all things electronic...
   E-Everything!"
   http://www.e-everything4bk.blogspot.com/
   e.. Bernard Dietz is blogging at Internet-Legal.com. He's a Virginia
attorney
   who provides legal services for Internet Entrepreneurs.
   http://www.internet-legal.com/blog/
   f.. Here's an interesting niche blog: the Criminal Defense and 209A
Restraining
   Order Defense blog is published by Boston attorney Dmitry Lev. He assists
   individuals who have had restraining orders issued against them, and wish
to
   have those orders removed.

Caught in the 'Net

A new way of looking at backup

In the past I have talked about services like Mozy and Carbonite for backing
up your personal information. I use Mozy, and I really love it. But what if
you don't want to trust your (or someone else's) personal data to an online
service? There are certainly legitimate concerns over what would happen if
one of these companies either suffered a security breach or went out of
business altogether.

That's where CrashPlan (http://www.crashplan.com/) hopes to excel. CrashPlan
allows you to back up your personal data to any computer -- another computer
you own, another employee's laptop, your mom's computer -- any computer. The
service is actually just software, so you don't have to pay a monthly fee --
just $20 (or $60 for the pro version). Non-legal example: what if you wanted
to share your family photos with your parents, but knew they wouldn't take
advantage of sites like Flickr -- set up CrashPlan to backup your photos,
and Mom and Dad will regularly get new photos delivered directly to their
hard drive. Give it a look.

Help Desk

Is your PC running slow?  Not sure what's causing it to drag down?  It could
be one of any number of things, and sometimes you have to try several fixes
before you identify the cause.  For the next 8-10 issues, I'd like to
discuss those things that could be slowing down your PC, and how to deal
with them.

First up is the one you all know about -- spyware and viruses.  In addition
to causing security problems for your computer, they can also significantly
slow down your computer.  It's relatively easy to keep viruses and spyware
off your PC, but you've got to be vigilant.  It's not just enough to have
anti-virus and anti-spyware software installed; you have to regularly update
the definitions of each program, to make sure you're protected against the
latest threats.

I'm currently using ZoneAlarm's antivirus program, which is provided as part
of the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite (www.zonelabs.com) -- it works
great, and automatically updates itself once a week.  If you're looking for
something in the price range of *free*, AVG (http://www.grisoft.com) is one
of the better free antivirus tools available.

With antispyware apps, you also have a choice between free and paid
versions.  SpyBot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and Ad-Aware
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/) are two of the best-known free products, and
Windows Defender (http://tinyurl.com/47cus) is a free Microsoft product that
actually works well.  My favorite antispyware product, however, will set you
back $30 -- it's Spy Sweeper (http://www.webroot.com) -- it's a fantastic
program.

Once you scan your program for spyware or viruses, you may find something
that your program cannot fix.  The major antivirus/spyware companies may
have special fixes for your problem at their sites -- or just go to your
favorite search engine, enter the name of the spyware/virus that's affecting

Do you have a question about searching the Internet or your computer in
general? Drop me a line at tom(at)inter-alia(dot)net -- I'll post your
question (don't worry, I won't use your real name) and try to get an answer

Legally Relevant -- Internet Legal Research Websites

Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses
http://www.awhonn.org/

AWHONN is the leading professional association for nurses who specialize in
the care of women and newborns.  Like most association sites, the resources
here are intended primarily for members.  However, there are a number of
education and practice resources available, with information on fetal heart
monitoring, cardiovascular health, prematurity, care of women over 65, and
more.  There are also a number of publications on similar topics, and a
terrific page with state and federal legislation news on issues affecting
health care for women and newborns.

ABA Commission on Domestic Violence
http://www.abanet.org/domviol/

You don't have to be a member of the ABA to take advantage of the great
information on domestic violence available here.  The site provides
statistics, safety tips, CLE programming, and tips and strategies for
handling domestic violence cases.  Attorneys can subscribe to the CDVLAW
listserv to discuss issues that arise in this type of law.  You'll also find
resources categorized by practice area, as well as information for law
school students and faculty.

Free Trade Area of the Americas
http://www.ftaa-alca.org/

The FTAA is the site that documents the efforts of the Americas to create a
single free trade area.  As such, you'll find a good deal of trade
information here as it deals with this part of the world.  Press
Communiques, Ministerial Declarations, Negotiating Groups, and a Trade and
Tariff Database -- it's all here.

BrainMaps
http://www.brainmaps.org/

What a cool site.  BrainMaps is a high-resolution digital brain atlas that's
based on over 15 million megapixels of scanned images.  There are brain maps
for primates (including homo sapiens), rodents, carnivores, and birds, with
over 50 TERABYTES of brain image data accessible online.  There are also
downloadable desktop applications so you can view and analyze images
offline.  And for your RSS users out there, a feed is available to update
you on new additions to the site.

United Nations Research Guide
http://www.nyulawglobal.org/globalex/United_Nations_Research1.htm

I *love* the Globalex research guides, and this one is no exception.  This
is actually an updated version, to help you find the United Nation's
internal resource trails.  It's authored by Linda Tashbook, a law librarian
at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.  It provides great ways to
find someone working in the UN, investigate an issue the UN is working on,
research United Nations treaties, get trained on searching UN databases, and
much more.  As usual, Globalex provides a great reference for doing research
on the Internet.

Again, nothing useful for you this week -- just fun and games:

In Red, you try to fend of the meteors that are attacking you - how long can
you survive?
http://www.armorgames.com/games/red_popup.html

And Jeu Chiant is all in french, but you don't really need to know french to
play it.  You try to balance one ball on a beam, while hitting another ball
up in the air.  A little like chewing gum and rubbing your tummy at the same
time, only much harder.

Well, that's it for Issue #263 -- I hope you liked it!  If you did, pass

Florence Devouard
Wikimedia Foundation chair

Hi all,

Here is another free information project with lots of RSS feeds, and
this one has full text search. The URL is:

http://regulations.justia.com


FEDERAL REGISTER REGULATIONS AND NOTICES
We have setup a database of new Federal Register rules and notices.
Every night/early morning the government issues a new Federal
Register index containing a list of all of the Rules, Proposed Rules
and Notices of the US Government Agencies, as well as Presidential
Proclamations, Executive Orders and Administrative Orders. This is a
great service. One thing that would be nice to change is to not have
all of the agencies in one document  - eg. if you are an
environmental lawyer, do you really want to see the Social Security
Administration notices? From that came this project.


BROKEN DOWN BY AGENCY/SUBAGENCY
       & RULES/NOTICES - DOCUMENT TYPE
We have taken the daily Federal Register and broken it down by Agency
and Sub Agency and then by the document type - Rules, Proposed Rules,
Proclamations, Executive Orders, Administrative Orders and Notices.
You can browse the pages by Agency and filter the listings by
document type to see those that interest you.


RSS FEEDS
We then setup RSS feeds to allow one to subscribe by RSS to just
documents for the agency they want to see.

For example, suppose you are interested in updates on the
Environmental Protection Agency Rules, but do not really care to see
the Notices and Proposed Rules, not to mention the rules and other
notices of the 100+ other agencies that are included in the Federal
Register. Well the way we have it setup, so you can subscribe to an
RSS feed to just the EPA Rules.

It is pretty flexible on an agency basis. If you want EPA Rules and
Proposed Rules, but not Notices, you can subscribe to both of those
in one feed.

You can also view or subscribe to feeds for a larger Agency, such as
the Department of Justice as a whole (which would inlcude the
documents for all of its subagencies), or to just the subagencies of
the department, such as the Antitrust Division of the DOJ.


FULL TEXT SEARCH - AND RSS
And it gets a little bit better. We have created a full text index of
all of the Federal Register documents since January 1, 2005, and
update that daily as well. You can search the full text of the
registrar and have it limited to documents in a particular Agency or
Sub Agency,  as well as limit by document type. Thus you could do a
full text search of just the FCC documents or even just the FCC Rules.

You can also limit the date range of a full text search and searches
can be ordered by both relevancy and date.

And you can add the full text search as a term in your RSS feed. So
if you wanted, you could subscribe to just FCC Rules that also
contain word Television in the full text of the document, you could
do that.


TEXT & PDF DOCUMENTS
There are links to both a marked up text version and the PDF version
(supplied by the government) of each regulation in the listings and
search result pages.



MORE TO DO...
We still have more work to do, especially in integrating secondary
materials and making some additional user interface changes. But it
seems pretty good for an initial beta.

As always comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Peace,

Tim





And we have updated the dockets database (http://dockets.justia.com).
It is much better, as we are now checking every Federal Court
multiple times a day, and much much faster (see  -
http://tinyurl.com/yq27tn). We are thinking about adding a focus on
the judges as well, possibly for beta 3.

Basic information about Network-Lawyers aka netLs

Help promote .... all the good things that are happening with Network-Lawyers.
Forward this FAQ to a friend or associate with the suggestion that they
subscribe. Or, better yet, submit the canned article about Network-Lawyers at
http://network-lawyers.org/article to a newsletter or other law or practice
related periodical.

Topic and purpose .... we are legal professionals using the tools of the
Internet to exchange information about the use of the Internet and other
technology in the practice of law.  Our group, its email-based discussion list,
its group weblog and "wiki" are launching pads for our common exploration and
development of new uses and innovation on the Internet and a place for helping
legal professionals who are new to the Internet.

Commercial content .... advertising and marketing of ones own products and
services is _off_ topic except for personal pages at the wiki web where you may
wax eloquent on your page about your law and law related products and services.

Membership .... is limited to lawyers, law students, faculty, legal assistants,
consultants to the profession and other legal professionals with an email based
discussion, a collectively edited weblog and wiki web or collaboration platform.
The group membership is limited to legal professionals.

Wiki web .... home base for the group where all members may create and edit web
pages using an simple full-page editor that works with your browsers.  Currently
web pages at the wiki may be created by any member or members of the group for
any law or law practice related topic or project of interest. This is best place
for new members to get acquainted with Network-Lawyers:

http://network-lawyers.org/

Weblog .... where all members are invited to join in as editors, reporters or
kibitzers. You may subscribe to receive articles by email or by an XML RSS feed.
The weblog is located at:

http://netls.weblog.org/

Email discussion and archives .... email-based discussion list with threaded
messages--messages organized by topic--archives at Gmane newsgroups starting in
June 2003 at:

http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.culture.law.network-lawyers

and since that might wrap onto two lines and break here is a tinyURL to the same
place:

Email subscriptions .... The web page for Network-Lawyers at the Group.Yahoo.Com
address is where you may subscribe, modify how your subscription works,
temporarily suspend or unsubscribe from the email discussion group.

File library .... The Yahoo.com web page is where you may up load documents and
other files to be shared with the group.  Like most discussion groups
attachments are not accepted for distribution via email but you may announce the
availability of a file in the file library.  That is the best way to handle
distribution of files.

Moderators .... the co-moderators monitor the postings to the group to see that
the message traffic stays on topic.

Moderation of messages .... The first message or two posted that you post to the
group will be "moderated" by the moderators.  There are seven or eight
co-moderators who share this task so that messages should be approved within a
few hours during the week days and a bit longer for messages posted on holidays
or over a weekend.  Within one or two messages after you surface as an active
participant in the discussions, the moderators, who have lots of other things to
do, will set the message server to automatically forward your messages with out
their approval.

Guidelines .... for additional rules and such see the last FAQ which is several
years old prepared by Lew Rose who founded the discussion group that has evolved
into Network-Lawyers discussion, weblog and wiki web.  What Lew had to say then
is generally applicable now with the exceptions noted above about the messages
being moderated on a much more limited basis.  The link to Lew's FAQ and
guidelines is:

Hi all,

Here is another beta of a free information project with lots of RSS feeds.

http://dockets.justia.com

FEDERAL COURT CASE FILINGS
We have setup a database of recently filed Federal District Court
civil cases. We basically get a list of all of the cases, and then
break them down by State/Court/Practice/Sub-Practice.

RSS FEEDS
You can subscribe to an RSS feed of all of the new cases that meet
these criteria, or you can do a search and subscribe to an RSS fee of
the search results. For example you could track all of the Federal
Court cases filed against Microsoft as an RSS feed, or you could
subscribe to just those that are filed in Washington State. Whatever
the search criteria, you can track new cases with an RSS feed.

LINKS TO PACER, BLOG, NEWS, FINANCE & WEB INFO
Each case has an individual page with a link to the Pacer info page
(you do need a subscription to access these documents at 8 cents per
page) as well as Blog, News, Finance and Web searches on the party
names. Depending on the particular case, you can often get some good
background information on the parties.

VALUE - CLIENTS/COMPANY TRACKING
The value of the database could be seen as a tracking mechanism for
client cases (you will know when they get sued before they do
sometimes), as well as a way to track companies and to find new
clients/cases (eg if you were a patent lawyer, you could track Patent
cases filed in your local Federal Court).

DAILY UPDATES
There are over 300,000 case titles since January 1, 2006, and we are
updating it daily.

Anyway feel free to try it out. We are still making some user
interface changes, and are going to add more functionality and
editorial groupings of parties. We are always looking for ideas, so
if you want any additions or changes, feel free to let us know.

Peace,

Tim

Hi All,

We have set up BlawgSearch so that you can add the results to your
own site with your own header/footer (and/or sidebars), and can limit
the search to particular categories.

My puppy Sheba did it... for animal and dog law blogs... you can too.
It is easy :)

Here is an example on Sheba's dog law web site
http://doglaw.hugpug.com/search/


And he is an example on using a blog post on Sheba's blog
http://www.hugpug.com/sheba/2006/01/hugpug_blawgsea.html



We basically put the results without the hBlawgSearch headers and
footers into an iframe on a page on your Website or blog. We have
default dimensions for the iframe, but you an change those by
adjusting the width and height of the iframe in the html code. If you
have setup a Google Coop, the idea is very similar.

You can have the default ordering be by relevance or date, and can
show 10 or 20 results per page. We are not showing any ads on the
results, but you are free to place ads on your pages if you want.


The Web page for getting your own BlawgSearch code adding is
http://blawgsearch.justia.com/friendcode.aspx



You fill out  form and it then gives you html code to copy.

The one thing you need to know up front is the url of your Website's
page you would like to have the results show up on, as that it is the
page that is being used in the search form (we will write up some
instructions for this over the weekend). So either setup a blank page
or blank blog post ahead of time, and then use that url as the url
for your website you would like the results to appear in.



We think the real value is setting up the different category searches
that match the site or blog. Thus if you had a blog on family law,
you could search the family law blogs (with an option to search all
of the blogs if you wanted it).

Anyway if you would like to use the BlawgSearch results on your own
web pages, feel free to do so. We will do a more formal announcement
once we get some initial feedback and have written up some simple
instructions.


Peace,

Tim

note: we do not currently have a lot of Animal and Dog Law blogs, so
try a search on the word "animal" if you want to test out the
category search. But we wanted Sheba to be involved, so that is why
we choose Animal and Dog Law Blogs.

Hi All,

BlawgSearch.com is now officially out of alpha and into beta (which
is good :). We have added the RSS feeds for searches, little media
icons for audio/video posts an a flash player for audio and a few
hundred more blogs. We are still adding a lot lot lot of blogs,
adding categories and developing an advanced search, as well as other
additional features. But the core functionality seems to be working
well.

And on another front, we just put up a search of all of the
multimedia files on http://www.Blawgs.fm

This searches across all of the posts that are indexed by
BlawgSearch.com, but returns just those that have video or audio
media files. We were thinking about keeping this for just the
advanced search on BlawgSearch.com, but figured it would be nice to
have a media only search site, so we bought the domain name :). There
is a podcast directory, but the search is not just searching across
those podcasts in the podcast directory, but is actually searching
across all of the posts in BlawgSearch.com that have media files.
With the flash player, it is a fast way to find interesting audio
files and podcasts to subscribe to. We have just started adding
podcasts into the podcast directory, but are focused on building this
out as well.

Anyway I hope you like and feel free to let me and the other
programmers know what to fix or add and please keep sending us blogs
to index. ok... back to the diet cokes and mountain dew :)

Peace,

Tim

few hours during the week days and a bit longer for messages posted on holidays
or over a weekend.  Within one or two messages after you surface as an active
participant in the discussions, the moderators, who have lots of other things to
do, will set the message server to automatically forward your messages with out
their approval.

Guidelines .... for additional rules and such see the last FAQ which is several
years old prepared by Lew Rose who founded the discussion group that has evolved
into Network-Lawyers discussion, weblog and wiki web.  What Lew had to say then
is generally applicable now with the exceptions noted above about the messages
being moderated on a much more limited basis.  The link to Lew's FAQ and
guidelines is:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/network-lawyers/files/guidelines.html

and since that might wrap onto two lines and break here is a tinyURL to the same
place:

http://tinyurl.com/jw9l

Help, suggestions and comments ... all of the co-moderators may be reached with
one message sent to:

network-lawyers-owner@yahoogroups.com

You may track down the moderators at the Groups.Yahoo.Com site where they are
listed in the membership list with little stars after their names.

If you would like to help make this FAQ better, let's hear your ideas and
suggestions over at the DiscussionGroupFAQ at:

Hi Bob, Jon, Geoge and Others,

I just saw these emails... sorry for the late reply

Thanks. No problem having posted about it.

We are still adding some stuff. We just added in the RSS feeds for
posts for searches and categories, and will be adding in a podcast
section and a bunch of other smaller changes (eg we removed the
search word spam) based on feedback. And we are adding lots of
blawgs. But the core functionality seems to be working ok.

Right now Blawgs that focus on a particular state and for law school
blogs in the state the law school is in (unless is it obvious the
blog will not be covering any state specific information (eg Becker -
Posner's blog is not listed in Illinois)).



My take is the categories are not quite right yet. We plan to relook
at the categorization once we have more blawgs indexed and see the
different areas of law they relate to. Then we will go through them a
few times and fix everything up.


---

Jon - we have added http://fsulawlibraryblog.typepad.com/
under the Law Librarians & Florida & Legal Information categories

George - we have added the http://sochaconsulting.com/inrediscovery/
under the Technology & Trials and Litigation categories

---

If there are any additional features people want, just let me know
and if it is easy (like the RSS feeds) we will have them up quick.

Peace,

Tim

Hi All,

We have set up a legal blog search engine at
http://www.blawgsea <http://www.blawgsearch.com,> rch.com,
<http://www.blawgsea <http://www.blawgsearch.com,> rch.com,> and I am
sending this out to the blawgers
Google group and Yahoo! NewLawyers list to get any fast feedback or
ideas/suggestions we could make before we release it in the next day
or so.

A quick note -- we are currently indexing around 600 blawgs (we will
be adding a many more). The current set has an emphasis on academic
and technology law blawgs.

Any comments/suggestions on the user interface, categories, blawgs we
should add etc... are appreciated. I am sure that the site will go
through multiple iterations before finalizing the look and feel for a
year to two. But there might be a few things we need to fix before we
fully announce that we are not seeing.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Peace,

Tim

Two questions. But first -- This is great! Very nicely done.

First, does this mean you are asking us to wait until tomorrow to write
about this?

Second, how do you decide which blogs to list by state? Are these supposed
to be blogs that focus on a particular state, or are they meant to show the
location of the blogger?
