Rory Perry's Weblog Law, technology, and the courts Blogs and transparent expertise John Udell: "Collectively we'll use the blog network to document, discover, and validate expertise." John Udell's thoughts on the transparency of expertise are one of the best explanations I have yet to see about the power of blogs as an additive tool -- one that enhances "traditional" media rather than displacing them. From my perspective, it's not just increasing media literacy that's important, it's also important to use additive tools to enhance public services, thereby increasing public trust and confidence in our govermental institutions. As I've said before, the dedicated practice of online journaling by even one person with significant institutional knowledge can benefit the entire organization. When it comes to official blogs in the courts, of course, transparency can only go so far. (Perhaps that's why, three years later, I'm still the only official court blogger out there.) What is fair game is a great deal of information about court process and procedure, about law and technology, all of which can "document, discover, and validate" the expertise of the institution. Even in the courts. 8:56:15 AM [Permanent Link]
