Corplawblawg offers Information for lawyers practicing corporate securities and M&A law.

BizLawTech aims "to serve as the source of information and best practices in business and technology law for our students, and attorneys...."  [via Inter Alia]

I don't know if either has RSS feeds; I wasn't able to open load either of those pages when I tried a few minutes ago (and I notice that this affliction seems to be affecting a lot of blogs today, especially those on Blogspot)

Glenn Reynolds is worried about the Internet and regulation:

"I'm not sure I'd go as far as Larry Lessig, and say that the Internet is dying, but the decades-long trend toward communications openness has, in some important ways, reversed itself. And if it continues, I don't believe that the Internet will be able to provide the sort of discipline that [FCC Chair] Michael Powell is counting on."

Reynolds and Lessig know quite a bit about the Internet and the laws that affect it.  If I were in Washington I'd listen to them.  But, then if I were in Washington I would be so busy trying to find guys like them to talk to that I'd scarcely have time to listen to the lobbyists.  And that wouldn't be right, would it?

The speaker list for this year's Poptech (October 16 - 19) is quite a roster again, including Larry Lessig, DeWayne Hendricks, Virginia Postrel and Moira Gunn.   After last year's Conference (which I blogged) I was so blown away that I immediately signed up for the 2003 meeting.  I can see that I won't be disappointed.  The theme for this year is "The Impact of Technology on People."

"Its official, you no longer work for JNI Traffic Control and u have forfided any arrangements made," read the text message sent to John Eid, his lawyer told the court.

Cornell Supreme Court RSS Feeds. Cornell’s Legal Information Institute is offering two Supreme Court RSS feeds.   See Jurist's post for details.  If you don't know what RSS/XML feeds are click here first.

This one offers decisions handed down in the last 24 hours, which is the best way to get quick notification of Supreme Court decisions.

This one offers, roughly the last 30 days of opinions in summary form.  And here's an example of what you see in your news aggregator:

INYO COUNTY, ET AL. v. PAIUTE-SHOSHONE INDIANS. Decided 05/19/2003. 1. Whether the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity enable Indians tribes, their gambling casinos and other commercial businesses to prohibit the searching of their property by law enforcement officers for criminal evidence pertaining to the commission of off-reservation State crimes, when the search is pursuant to a search warrant issued upon probable cause. 2. Whether such a search by State law enforcement officers constitutes a violation of the tribe's civil rights that is actionable under 42 U.S.C. 1983. 3. Whether, if such a search is actionable under 42 U.S.C. 1983, the State law enforcement officers who conducted the search pursuant to the warrant are nonetheless entitled to the defense of qualified immunity.

Philip Greenspun on wireless Internet in the United States: "While our politicians fret about old-style feudalism in the Muslim world they ignore neo-feudalism springing up in their midst."  Hmmmmmm.
