The ABA’s Web 100.

ABA Blawg Hall of Fame, ABA Journal, The Web 100

Web 100 Amici, ABA Journal, American Bar Association

Every year for the last decade, the ABA has solicited votes for nominations for the favorite law-related blog. Those chosen based on your nominations become the Web 100 for that year. Over the years, it’s expanded to include other law-related technology, and added its own Blawg Hall of Fame. It’s definitely worth a look to rediscover old favorites and others goodies you might have missed.

It’s that time of year again. Nominate your favorite law-related blog, podcast, social media feed, app, or interactive feature for recognition in this year of the ABA’s Web 100. You will find the nomination form at the link below. -CCE

LexisNexis launches Lexis Analytics, by Joe Hodnicki, Law Librarian Blog

https://llb2.com/2018/07/13/lexisnexis-launches-lexis-analytics/

Yesterday, LexisNexis launched Lexis Analytics. From the press release:

“The suite consists of new and enhanced products fueled by smart content from Lexis Advance and the strategic acquisitions of Lex Machina, Intelligize and Ravel Law, and integrates the most powerful technologies in the legal space, including machine learning, artificial intelligence (A.I.) and visualization tools.”

Interestingly, Thomson Reuter launched Westlaw Edge, West Search Plus, Analytics, Enhanced Citator and More, on the same day as the Lexis Advance launch. Joe Hodnicki believes that Westlaw Edge is more powerful and stiff competition to Lexis Advance. Those of you who use these products, what do you think? -CCE

Tying Controversy: AALL Statement on July 2 Meeting with Lexis Representatives, by Joe Hodnicki, Law Librarian Blog

https://llb2.com/2018/07/06/tying-controversy-aall-statement-on-july-2-meeting-with-lexis-representatives/

If you have not noticed, there is a growing controversy with LexisNexis’ ethics and marketing practices. This affects all law schools, paralegal educators, and law firms that subscribe to LexisNexis. For a bit of the back story, see LexisNexis’ Next-Generation Solution Means End of Lexis.com at http://www.lawsitesblog.com/2016/12/last-rites-lexis-com-lexisnexis-sets-date-shutdown.html. Here is more to the point from Joe Hodnicki, who has been closely following the dialogue between LexisNexis and the AALL: https://llb2.com/2018/06/15/early-coverage-of-aall-lexisnexis-anticompetitive-tying-controversy/.

Heads’ up, LexisNexis subscribers. – CCE

E-Discovery, Jenny Tucker, My Paralegal Place

The Big List of E-Discovery Terms Every Paralegal Should Know, by Jenny Tucker, My Paralegal Place (reprinted with author’s permission)

http://www.myparalegalplace.com/2017/08/the-big-list-of-e-discovery-terms-every.html

I have paralegal friends who have had special training and received credentials for their knowledge of e-discovery. I also have paralegal friends who rarely run across the same kind of challenge. If these terms are common to you, I tip my hat. If not, I hope this helps. Thanks, Jenny, for sharing. -CCE

The Capitol Steps – Today!

04 Wednesday Jul 2018

Bar & Grill Singers, The Capitol Steps

The Capitol Steps

http://www.capsteps.com/

Every year, The Capitol Steps perform a 4th of July show. If you are not familiar with The Capitol Steps, it’s political musical satire. This tradition is shared by similar groups around the country in law schools and bar associations, such as the Bar & Grill Singers in Austin: https://www.singers.com/group/Bar-Grill-Singers/ (my personal favorite, “Appointed Forever“).  It’s well written, well performed, and hilarious.

Regardless of your political persuasion, you’ll enjoy it! Happy Fourth of July! -CCE
