Edward S. Godfrey Professor of Law Don Zillman Publishes Two Books

Edward S. Godfrey Professor of Law Don Zillman has had two books recently published. The first book, Beyond the Carbon Economy - Energy Law in Transition (Oxford University Press, 2008), which is co-edited with Catherine Redgwell, Lila Barrera-Hernandez and Yinka Omorogbe, explores the legal ramifications of the unsustainability of our carbon-based, global economy. The book was discussed at a conference of the International Bar Associations, held recently in Copenhagen, Denmark. The second book, Strategic Legal Writing (Cambridge University Press, 2008), which is co-authored with Assistant U.S. Attorney Evan J. Roth, is designed to help law students sharpen their writing skills. The text was used by Professor Zillman and Assistant Dean Sherry Abbott in their spring Advanced Legal Writing course.

Associate Clinical Professor Northrop Speaks at AALS Conference

Associate Clinical Professor Christopher Northrop spoke earlier this month (with co-presenters Ken King, Suffolk Law School; Jennifer Lee Koh, Stanford Law School; Jayashri Srikantiah, Stanford Law School) in Tucson, Arizona, at the AALS Conference on Clinical Legal Education. The title of the session was "Clinical Engagement at Multiple Levels: Exploring the Relationship Between Direct Representation and Policy Reform Work." The presentation ended with a general analysis of "best practice" findings for selecting policy projects to integrate with individual representation clinics.

LLRX All New

Law Library Resources Exchange has updated its website. The best of the old site, like the Court Rules Forms and Dockets database remains the same but the new site is now part of an open source content management system, Drupal, providing enhanced layout, navigation and usability. The new LLRX also provides more options for accessing many of the source materials that are hallmarks of the site. This is accomplished via drop down menus that appear on the top navigation bar, topical navigation choices that consistently appear on the far right hand side of each page, and by employing the new Google Custom Search so that readers may query for content on LLRX and beSpacific (the author, Sabrina Pacifici's blog on law and technology news), or for results from the legal web. Also, a "printer friendly" option has been added to make it easier to read articles once you have printed them.

Authors may submit an article directly to Ms. Pacifici at time.
