Today's New Blawg

Dan Fingerman writes DTM. Dan's a recent Boston University School of Law grad and California Bar admittee, and worked as a summer associate in 2002 with Wiggin & Dana, the firm behind the Franchise Law Blog. Posts from the last month or so cover a wide variety of topics including law, technology, and culture: "Pesky spirits die hard, I guess." [Via the Blawg Ring]

Little Red Corvette

Sweet Ride, Good Cause

My dad's been on me about public education issues since well before I became mother-to-be of his first grandchild. Now the rubber is meeting the road, so to speak, and he's got a Red Hot Corvette, four days lodging at the Little River Inn, and dining during your stay at legendary Mendocino area restaurants, for some lucky soul who puts up $100 to support MUSE: a program for the enrichment of music, arts, sciences, and athletic programs in Mendocino schools. More details here. (With only 3,000 tickets being offered, the odds of winning appear roughly equivalent to landing a spot on an MTV reality show, or experiencing ESP in space.)

Coming Out Party

Cindy Chick on WestLaw's new Results Plus, which she likens to Amazon's Search Inside the Book: "[I]t's fair to say that books are coming out of the closet. And none too soon."

Today's New Blawg

Sam, a 2L at the University of San Diego School of Law, writes Reversed and Remanded. [Via Blawg.org] Here's Sam on California's online application page for appointment to state office: "I would really prefer that the Director of the Office of Emergency Services not get the job because he happened to be surfing the web." Also, I liked his tag line so much ("Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, Turn.") I had to look it up.

Today's New Blawg

Matt Morse has a brother, and his brother has a blawg. Adam Morse is associate counsel for the Brennan Center Democracy Program at NYU School of Law. At his Journal, Adam provides in-depth examinations of interesting and current judicial determinations (primarily those of the U.S. Supreme Court). His post on the recent Massachusetts same sex marriage case is a mini-treatise, full of deconstruction, analysis, predictions, and even a colorful historical reference. I watched both Meet the Press and Face the Nation tackle this topic this morning, and without question Adam's analysis was the more informative.
