Gpo’S New Govinfo Site, Paul Birch
Law Faculty Publications
It’s about time. Seven years after its official launch, the Government Printing Office’s rather dated looking FDsys website is soon to have a fresh replacement, https://govinfo.gov. Still in beta testing, the site already bears the rakishly lowercased call-name “govinfo.” Those, like myself, who have been unsure about how to pronounce “FDsys” should be thankful enough for this alone. But GPO has delivered more than just a name change. The forthcoming site is in many ways a vast improvement over its predecessor.

New Wine In Old Wineskins: Metaphor And Legal Research,

University of Baltimore School of Law
New Wine In Old Wineskins: Metaphor And Legal Research, Amy E. Sloan, Colin Starger
All Faculty Scholarship
We construct our conceptual world using metaphors. Yet sometimes our concepts are flawed and our metaphors do damage. This Article examines a set of metaphors currently doing damage in law – those for legal research. It shows that while technology has radically altered the material world of legal research, our dominant metaphors have remained static, and thus, become outmoded. Conceptualizing today’s reality using old metaphors fails; it is like pouring new wine in old wineskins. To address this problem, this Article first surfaces unwarranted assumptions buried in the metaphors we use when talking about research and then proposes new metaphors …

Due Diligence: Company Information For Law Students, Matthew M. Morrison
Cornell Law Librarians' Publications
Many law students are placed with corporate law firms whose clients are overwhelmingly companies. While many law school courses focus on doctrine, students need to learn company information and where to find it.

Respectful Identifiers, Douglas E. Abrams
Faculty Publications
The bills teach that respectful legal writing replaces outdated identifiers of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, disability or challenge, or other differences among identifiable groups in American society. As Professors Laurel Currie Oates and Anne Enquist advise, respect normally means identifying a group by a name commonly preferred by its members in everyday communication.

References To Television Programming In Judicial Opinions And Lawyers’ Advocacy, Douglas E. Abrams
Faculty Publications
"Think of the poor judge who is reading ... hundreds and hundreds of these briefs," says Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. "Liven their life up just a little bit. . . with something interesting." Lawyers can "liven up" their briefs with references to television shows generally known to Americans who have grown up watching the small screen. After discussing television's pervasive effect on American culture since the early 1950s, this Article surveys the array of television references that appear in federal and state judicial opinions. In cases with no claims or defenses concerning the television industry, judges often help …

The Final Legal-Writing Class: Parting Wisdom For Students, Joel Atlas, Estelle Mckee, Andrea J. Mooney
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
The last class of a legal-writing course is a beginning rather than an end for our students. Soon, they will have the opportunity to employ, in real life, the skills they have learned in the course. And professors want their students not only to succeed, but to excel, in practice. To help realize this goal, and as a fitting finale to the course, a professor may choose to provide students with tips for the immediate and long-term future in their profession.
