7th Circuit slams 'secret opinions'

No secret opinions in the federal courts. This was the warning issued last week by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after a Wisconsin magistrate judge sealed her opinions in two trade secrets cases.

In Hicklin Engineering v. R.J. Bartell, the three-judge panel cautioned: "We hope never to encounter another sealed opinion."

The issue came before the court on the question of whether it could publicly discuss the district court's reasoning given that the opinions were sealed. The court could barely contain its surprise:

"The judge did not explain what authority permits a federal court to issue entire opinions in secret. Redacting portions of opinions is one thing, secret disposition quite another. We have insisted that litigation be conducted in public to the maximum extent consistent with respecting trade secrets, the identities of undercover agents, and other facts that should be held in confidence. ... This means that both judicial opinions and litigantsÂ? briefs must be in the public record, if necessary in parallel versions Â? one full version containing all details, and another redacted version with confidential information omitted. ...

"What happens in the federal courts is presumptively open to public scrutiny. Judges deliberate in private but issue public decisions after public arguments based on public records. The political branches of government claim legitimacy by election, judges by reason. Any step that withdraws an element of the judicial process from public view makes the ensuing decision look more like fiat and requires rigorous justification. The Supreme Court issues public opinions in all cases, even those said to involve state secrets. ... It is impossible to see any justification for issuing off-the-record opinions in a dispute about drawings of transmission testing equipment."

Review: Calendaring for smaller firms

In November 2004, I wrote about the launch by CompuLaw of Deadlines On Demand, a service designed to help sole practitioners and small firms calendar court deadlines using CompuLaw's rules-based service on a pay-per-use basis. With the service now over a year old, I recently checked back for an update.

DOD's purpose is simple but essential: to calculate important court deadlines. It allows a lawyer to avoid the time-consuming and sometimes confusing process of researching rules, looking up holidays and counting calendar days to come up with a schedule. DOD does it all for you Â? researching the jurisdiction's rules, adjusting for holidays and scheduling all deadlines. It uses the same calendaring rules as its parent, CompuLaw, which the company says is used by more than half of the 50 largest U.S. firms and which was winner of the 2005 Law Technology News award for best docketing and calendar software.

For smaller-firm lawyers, DOD's advantage over CompuLaw is its pay-as-you-go pricing. Price of a search ranges from $5 to $99, depending on the complexity and number of deadlines. Joseph C. Scott, DOD's vice president and general manager, told me that the average cost of a search in 2005 was $27.50. You are not charged until after you enter your search parameters and DOD calculates the price, so you can always decide not to hit the submit button. (During my recent visits, DOD was offering a 50 percent discount, but I do not know for how long it will be in effect.)

Searching is simple. Start by selecting the jurisdiction of your case from a map of the United States. DOD covers all federal courts and all 50 states, but it does not necessarily have all courts or local rules within a state. You can browse the list of available rules before you start your search. Next, select the court and area of practice (state court civil litigation, for example) and then the event (filing of complaint, for example). If you wish, you may enter your own matter reference number and other case information. At this point, DOD gives you a summary of the information you have provided and the cost. If you approve, click submit. DOD generates the list of deadlines and sends it to you by e-mail in an iCalendar format that you can import into Microsoft Outlook. You can also send the deadlines to a delimited file to import into other programs or hand-held devices.

A reassuring feature is DOD's change notification service. If a jurisdiction changes a rule that could affect a user's previous search, DOD sends the user notice of the change by e-mail along with a link to rerun the search. Live telephone support is available weekdays and users can also submit support questions by e-mail.

General manager Scott said that DOD grew to more than 8,000 regular users in its first year, well beyond the company's goal of 1,500. Lawyers particularly like it, he said, for researching deadlines in courts where they do not customarily practice.

DOD's one drawback for some lawyers will be its coverage. While some states, such as California, have virtually blanket coverage, others do not. It appears that DOD includes at least the appellate rules and principal civil trial court rules for every state, as well as federal district rules. From there, coverage varies. The company is constantly working to add new and update existing jurisdictions, Scott said.

DOD is a useful and easy-to-use calendaring tool for solo and small-firm lawyers. Most attractive is its pay-per-search pricing. A search takes only minutes, and at an average cost of $27.50 per search, it seems certain to save you time and your client money.

Streaming music, made your way

Sitting around my office, I often play streaming music. Sometime last fall, I discovered Pandora, and I've been addicted ever since.

Pandora calls itself "a music discovery service designed to help you find and enjoy music that you'll love," and that is precisely why it is addictive -- it takes information about artists and music you know you like and introduces you to others with similar "musical genomes." In fact, it is run by something called The Music Genome Project, a group of musicians and technologists who attempt to chart the "genes" of music by analyzing melody, harmony and rhythm, instrumentation, orchestration, lyrics and vocals.

Sounds highly technical, but, blissfully, it isn't. Start by providing the name of an artist or song. Based on that single input, Pandora creates a "radio station," following with other songs that are musically similar. You can steer this somewhat by providing feedback on songs you like or do not like. In the process, you will hear some familiar songs and be introduced to others.

My first foray into Pandora was to create a Son Seals radio station. Pandora played Seals' song, "I Can't Hold Out," then told me it was going to start exploring other songs and artists with similar musical qualities. Next up was The Senders, "If Walls Could Talk," followed by "Some Folks Like to Steal" by The Kentucky Headhunters and "Kansas City" by Albert King. At any point, you can tell it whether or not you like a song or ask it why it chose a song. It picked "Kansas City," it told me, because of its "blues rock qualities, mild rhythmic syncopation, demanding instrumental part writing, mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation and major key tonality."

Later, I created the Allen Toussaint radio station. From that followed songs from Jerry McCain, The Gap Band, McFadden & Whitehead, The Temptations, Z.Z. Hill, Mary Wells, K.C. & The Sunshine Band, Little Milton, Keb' Mo', The Isley Brothers, Stevie Wonder and even -- much to my surprise -- Ruben Studdard. When I asked why it was playing a song by The Contours, Pandora replied: "Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features acoustic rhythm piano, mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation, a busy horn section, a vocal-centric aesthetic and major key tonality." Uh-huh.

Once you've created a station, you can save it, edit it and even e-mail it to a friend.

What's it cost? Nada. Zilch. If you opt for the advertising-supported version, it is entirely free. If you prefer to avoid ads, you can opt for the subscription version at $12 for three months or $36 for a year. Except for the ads, the two versions are identical. As David Pogue reported recently, Pandora is also available for Squeezebox.

New resource for small businesses

Attention smaller-firm lawyers: Tomorrow CMP Media officially launches a new Web site for small-business owners, SmallBizResource. Here's the description:

"The site will offer original content, free information and expert advice from CMP Media editors on a broad spectrum of issues including sales, marketing, finance, legal, HR, technology, growth, and strategy.

"Unlike other sites, smallbizresource.com specifically focuses on the needs of small office or home office (SOHO) owners. A small business owner with between one and ten employees typically wears many hats and usually can't afford to pay for outside advice on key business issues, often relying on informal networks for guidance and answers. The goal is to provide owners with information they can act on, networking opportunities, peer-to-peer counsel, case studies, product reviews and lab tests."

Companion to the site is a new weekly e-newsletter, BizBuzz, which promises to deliver "valuable tips for managing your business, new feature articles from expert columnists, cutting-edge blogs about today’s most critical business topics, free offers and discounts on business products and services from our industry-leading sponsors, plus much more." Sign up at the site.

An entertaining, eclectic law journal

The fun of exploring the Web is that every so often you discover a treasure. Such is The Green Bag, which describes itself as "an entertaining journal of law." No ordinary law journal this, it is as eclectic as it is entertaining. In fact, it devotes a section to "eclectica," where you will find animated -- and annotated -- bobbleheads of Justices Antonin Scalia, Sandra Day O'Connor, John Paul Stevens and William H. Rehnquist. As for its articles, the journal's collection is somewhat of a jurisprudential potpourri. Selections in the current issue, for example, range from "Laugh Track," in which Boston University School of Law associate professor Jay D. Wexler studies the relative senses of humor of the justices of the Supreme Court, to "The Original Meaning of the 21st Amendment," which examines recent Supreme Court cases involving wine sales across state lines, to "A Lawyer in Baghdad," in which Brett H. McGurk shares insights acquired during five months as associate general counsel to the Coalition Provisional Authority. There is more, such as the recently published Green Bag Almanac and Reader, featuring "useful and entertaining tidbits for lawyers" and "good legal writing from the past year selected by the legal luminaries and sages on our board of advisors." And, as you might expect, there is a store, where you can buy from an equally eclectic selection of books published by The Green Bag Press.

A hat tip to LAW + disORDER for the pointer to The Green Bag.

'A blog is like a shark ...

That sage quote comes from "Blogs to Riches," the cover story of the Feb. 20 New York Magazine featuring a package of stories on "The Blog Establishment." Interesting reading, with a few law bloggers making it into the mix.

Boalt misfires admissions e-mail

The director of admissions at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall accidently sent an e-mail to thousands of applicants implying that they had been accepted to the prestigious law school, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

"[T]he mistake happened as he was training a new staff member on the office's e-mail system. The e-mail was an invitation to a reception and was supposed to go to the 500 applicants already accepted to the school. Instead, it was accidentally sent to all applicants, not just those who had gotten early notice of admission."

From Georgia, a blog and a podcast

Two Georgia criminal defense lawyers, Rob Leonard and John Barrett, recently launched Georgia Criminal Law Blog, described as "Georgia's premier web log for people accused of crimes and the lawyers defending them." They are off to a good start, providing substantive discussion of cases and legislation -- and a podcast to boot.

Listing of government podcasts

Even the government is podcasting these days, and Free Government Information has compiled a list of federal and state government podcasts. The sleeper of the lot: Inside NYPD, the New York Police Department daily podcast.

Help the government monitor your searches

All the Justice Department asks is to monitor your online searches, but Google is resisting. If you want to be a patriot and help the federal government snoop on its citizens, then switch your search engine to Patriot Search. Its policy to is to make certain the government is informed should you search for something obscure, illegal or unpatriotic. Let them explain:

"Instead of letting the government waste tax money by going through complicated procedures to get user and search data from Yahoo, MSN, Ask Jeeves or Google, users of Patriot Search make sure their queries end up right where they belong – in the databases of the government and its various agencies."

Go ahead, help the government root out terrorists and democrats.

An index of medical image databases

If images of gastrointestinal endoscopy or neuroimaging start your heart racing, you are probably a personal-injury lawyer. Medical images are important, both to help you understand the plaintiff's injuries and as demonstrative evidence to use in the courtroom. Medical Image Databases on the Internet is a useful compilation not of images, but of databases, directories and search engines for finding them. It is sponsored by the library at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.

Take the pulse of the blogosphere

I've written before about Googlism, a fun tool that searches Google to arrive at a characterization of a person, place or thing. Now there is something similar for the blogosphere, Opinmind. Type a name or topic in its search box, and it returns two side-by-side lists of pro and con comments from the blogosphere, along with a "sentimenter" measuring the blogosphere's overall opinion of the person or topic. You can take the sentimeter results of a given search and paste them in any web page, as I've done below for a search of "dick cheney."

Amazing archive of classic live rock

In 2002, entrepreneur Bill Sagan bought the complete archives of legendary rock promoter Bill Graham. The archives included Graham's never-released tapes of thousands of live performances by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Van Morrison, Santana, Otis Redding, Steppenwolf, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and many others.

Now, through his Web site Wolfgang's Vault (Wolfgang was Graham's given name), Sagan is streaming the collection through what he calls Vault Radio. It is amazing stuff. Hear Grace Slick sing "Somebody to Love" in 1966 with not Jefferson Airplane, but her earlier group, Great Society (performing on the same bill with Jefferson Airplane). You'll find early recordings of The Allman Brothers, Elvis Costello and Taj Mahal, as well as classics by a range of rock and R&B greats from Chuck Berry and Booker T. to The Staple Singers and Frank Zappa.

To read more about Sagan and his purchase of Graham's archives, read, Rock's Living History, Streamed Online.

Gallup: Blog readership level in 2005

A new Gallup poll finds that blog readership bogged down in 2005, showing growth in U.S. blog readers to be somewhere between nil and negative between February and December 2005. In fact, the percentage of Internet users who say they never read blogs rose during the period, from 63 percent to 66 percent. "The main inference is that blog readership did not grow during 2005," the survey said.

No surprise, the survey shows a generation gap in blog readership. One in five Web users under age 30 say they read blogs frequently, while fewer than 1 in 10 older Americans do.

The survey says it is not just blog readership that suffers anemic growth -- Americans' likelihood of doing most other online activities also has not changed much over the past two years.

Boston start-up promises, 'No hourly bull'

Calling itself "the next generation international corporate law firm," a Boston start-up, Exemplar Law Partners, claims to be the first corporate law firm in the nation exclusively to use fixed-price billing. The firm managers identified on its Web site are fairly new to the practice of law in Massachusetts -- the CEO was admitted in December 2004 and the executive director and hiring director in late 2005 -- but the Web site describes the firm's attorneys as "experienced businesspeople with advanced business degrees or significant business experience."

Other ways in which the firm promises to be different:

• No strictly defined practice areas: "Each and every legal matter we take on is assigned to a cross-functional team of attorneys that work together to provide comprehensive analyses and solutions."
• A satisfaction guarantee: "We are so confident we will deliver unmatched value in the services we provide, that we encourage you to determine what the value of the services was worth to you. If it was less than the price you paid, call us, articulate the shortcomings, and we will negotiate a fair price with you."

In a post to a Young Entrepreneur forum, one of the firm's partners described her involvement as "helping pioneer the legal revolution." Time will tell, but one at least must admire the firm's chutzpah.

The site, Fraud Update, will track government actions throughout the United States against fraud and other practices that victimize consumers, businesses and government. The Web site will also provide consumer alerts and track relevant legislation and rule-making. It is operated jointly by Florida State University's College of Criminology and Criminal Justice and the St. Thomas University School of Law.

Lawyers: Beware Google's desktop search

Google this week released version 3.0 of its Google Desktop Search. Its most significant enhancement over earlier versions could also be a significant headache for lawyers.

The feature in question sounds pretty nifty, particularly for the road warriors among us. It allows you to search across multiple computers provided they are all tied to your Google account. This means that if you have a desktop and a laptop, you can search both from either computer, no matter where you are and even if the other computer is turned off.

However, to enable this (you can disable it), Google temporarily stores copies of your indexed files on its servers. The data is stored temporarily to allow the new index information to be sent to the other computer. After a period of time, Google automatically deletes the data.

But with the U.S. government making no secret of its subpoenas for personal information stored by Google and other search companies, even temporary storage of a lawyer's files on Google's servers could threaten client confidentiality. Given this, go ahead and download the latest toolbar, but think twice before enabling its ability to search across multiple computers.

For two other perspectives on this, see:

• Google unveils Desktop Search 3.0, Privacy blow-up 2.0, by Ken Fisher.
• Google Desktop Search: The Feds Own Your Data, by Preston Gralla.

Firefox add-in makes Web words 'hyper'

Released yesterday, Hyperwords is a nifty extension for Firefox that makes every word on a Web page a potential hyperlink to an array of search, reference, blogging and other tools. Simply highlight a word or group of words, and a pop-up menu appears offering options to search, reference, map, shop, copy, e-mail, tag, blog or translate. Each option in turn leads to a submenu of further options, so "search" leads to submenus where you can select the type of search and where to search -- search Web sites using Google or for pictures using Flickr, for example. The Hyperlinks Blog has yesterday's announcement of the launch. Install the Firefox extension here. A version for Internet Explorer is coming, the site says.

Which celeb do you resemble?

Bonnie Shucha made my day, helping me discover my hitherto unrealized resemblence to Mel Gibson. Her recent post alerted me to MyHeritage.com's face recognition tool. The idea of the tool is to allow uploads of multiple family photos without having to identify each person in each photo manually. The demo version matches the face in the photo you upload to that of a celebrity. Given the results pictured here, I would have to conclude its accuracy is questionable.
