Even Deans Blog on Classcaster
DeanWuBlog – Dean Frank Wu of Wayne State University Law School has been gearing up for the new law school academic year with his own Classcaster blog. No podcasts yet, but we are hopeful. It is refreshing to here from a Dean directly on matters such as faculty appointments. I do hope that other Deans round and about take notice and cruise on over to Classcaster setup their own blogs.

Creating Permanent Arcival URLs for Use With Citations
Check out webcitation.org — a project run at the University of Toronto. The basic idea is to create a permanent URL for citations, so that when the Supreme Court, e.g., cites a webpage, there’s a reliable way to get back to the webpage it cited. They do this by creating a reference URL, which then will refer back to an archive of the page created when the reference was created. E.g., I entered the URL for my blog (“http://lessig.org/blog”). It then created an archive URL “http://www.webcitation.org/5IlFymF33”. Click on it and it should take you to an archive page for my blog.Why, you might ask, would you ever want to substitute that long ugly URL for the short and spiffy http://lessig.org/blog? Well first, and most obviously if you’ve ever written something for publication, URLs are not always short and spiffy. Second, the point is to create an archive of a page at a particular moment.
This is a great idea, but as Prof. Lessig notes later in the piece, it does need to have some sort of guarentee of being permanent and not a dead-end. Also, the focus is on citation in scholarly works, but all web writing would benefit from some sort of permanent URI generater that would allow for the archiving and maintenance of links.

Self Help LEgal Movement Gets a Blog
SHLEP’s goal is to bring the benefits of a daily weblog to the Self-Help Law movement. Developments and news about self-help will be presented (often thanks to the efforts of the good folk at SelHelpSupport.org). In addition to creating or organizing background materials for those who want to find self-help resources, your editor will attempt to keep readers informed of self-help resources available to the public and to professional providers of those services, of studies and reports on self-help law and related issues, of relevant symposia and meetings, and of the people and groups aiding (or obstructing) the movement.
