Blawg Review
It's not just a blog carnival; it's the law! ~ a fool in the forest
The Carnival of Law Bloggers
Blawg Review is the blog carnival for everyone interested in law. A peer-reviewed blog carnival, the host of each Blawg Review decides which of the submissions and recommended posts are suitable for inclusion in the presentation. And the host is encouraged to source another dozen or so interesting posts to fit with any special theme of that issue of Blawg Review. The host's personal selections usually include several that reflect the character and subject interests of the host blawg, recognizing that the regular readership of the blog should find some of the usual content, and new readers of the blog via Blawg Review ought to get some sense of the unique perspective and subject specialties of the host. Thanks to all the law bloggers who collaborate to make Blawg Review one of the very best blog carnivals of any genre.
Conflict Resolution Day 2008
 Blawg Review #181 is hosted by Diane Levin on the Mediation Channel to mark Conflict Resolution Day 2008, which is the third Thursday in October.We'd like to take this opportunity to thank Diane for her many contributions to Blawg Review, having now hosted four outstanding presentations -- #43, #94, #130 and #181. Behind the scenes, in her role as a Blawg Review Sherpa, Diane has made contributions to many other issues of Blawg Review, too. So, speaking for myself and all the other Blawg Review hosts she's helped along the way, we'd like to say thanks a bunch and give her this extra little bit of link love to show our heartfelt appreciation.The blawgosphere is all a Twitter:http://twitter.com/vpynchon/statuses/957213270http://twitter.com/kevinokeefe/statuses/957257456http://twitter.com/PeterBlackQUT/statuses/957285052 What a turkey I am. It seems that your editor has started a bit of an international conflict, today, which is Canadian Thanksgiving Day. Next year, on the second Monday in October, we'll find a turkey in Canada to wave the flag on Blawg Review.

Musical Accompaniment
If you find this week's Blawg Review #180 for German-American Day lacking musical accompaniment, we recommend Pachelbel's Canon in D.Although the composer of Canon in D, Johann Pachelbel, was not, himself, a German-American, his son Charles Theodore Pachelbel, a German composer, organist and harpsichordist of the late Baroque era, was one of the first European composers to take up residence in the American colonies, and was, quite possibly, the most famous musical figure in early Charleston, South Carolina.So, you can see why this piece came to mind immediately when I read Blawg Review #180 on German-American Day.

Wiener Takes All
 Scouring the Google for an image that captures the spirit of the carnival of law blogs on German-American Day, your editor could find none better than this movie poster for the dogumentary Wiener Takes All.Contemporaneously with the publication of this week's Blawg Review at midnight in Germany, Americans at Oktoberfest NW in Seattle gather for the running of the dachshunds.On Sunday, October 5, take your place alongside the track at Longbody Acres at Oktoberfest Northwest and cheer for the dashing daschund (sic) of your choice!Starting at noon, daschunds (sic) of all shapes and sizes (well, okay, all sizes anyway...probably only the one shape) will compete in various races and competitions. The top six winners from the day will compete in another race at Qwest Field during a Seahawks game later in the year- so the wiener war is on!Blawg Review #180 is hosted by Andis Kaulins on LawPundit, a law blog domiciled in Germany and authored by an American expatriate, born in Germany, raised in the United States, and formerly lecturing on Anglo-American law at the University of Trier Law School.Are we going to the dawgs? You be the judge of that. We could do worse than having this many cheering fans show up to see this week's Blawg Review #180.

German-American Day
 The Germans are coming! The Germans are coming! Oh wait, they’ve already been here in Philadelphia for 325 years. Not to worry. Seems to be working out well so far. It’s that time of year again – the German Society will be hosting a full slate of activities surrounding German-American Weekend October 1-6, 2008.In 1983, President Reagan signed a proclamation declaring October 6 as German-American Day. The question arises, other than a yearly reception at City Hall held by the Mayor of Philadelphia, why have other festivities celebrating October 6 nearly slipped into oblivion?What’s the problem? Irish-Americans aren’t the only ones who know how to throw a party. Germans invented freakin’ Oktoberfest. They should be able to generate a bit more interest about their culture and contributions to the country on their special day.We'll do our part. October 6 is German-American Day at Blawg Review this year. Our host is Andis Kaulins at his LawPundit blog. If you'd like to submit your law blog post, or recommend something appropriate you've found interesting on another blawg, send a link to us following these Submission Guidelines.Blawg Review #180 should be a party!

Flash of Genius Review
This week's presentation of Blawg Review is a treasure trove of Intellectual Property news and opinion, including something for everyone, patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets, and cyber law.Blawg Review #179 is being hosted on Securing Innovation, the business blog of IP.com, on the birthday of Laszlo Biro, to commemorate his invention of the ballpoint pen seventy years ago. Like many, I didn't know who invented the ubiquitous ballpoint pen that, in its original invention by Biro, was apparently very similar to the classic BIC Cristal. I was also surprised to learn from this week's Blawg Review that Laszlo Biro had many other inventions, including an automatic transmission, which he sold to GM.Blawg Review links a patent attorney's preview of Flash of Genius, a movie about the guy who invented the intermittent windshield-wiper. Stephen Albainy-Jenei, at the Patent Baristas patent law blog, thinks he will like this movie.Billed as educational while also inspiring and entertaining, the early reviews have been positive. The story is based on the true story of college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns’s (Greg Kinnear) long battle with the U.S. automobile industry and his fight to receive recognition for his invention. Kearns took on a battle that nobody thought he could win.Kearns invented and patented the intermittent windshield wiper mechanism for use in light rain or mist and tried to license it to the big automakers. They all rejected his idea and then some went ahead and put intermittent wipers in their cars beginning in 1969. In 1967, he received the first of more than 30 patents for his wipers. He sued Ford in 1978 and Chrysler in 1982 for patent infringement. Click here to watch the movie trailer, and check out this week's Blawg Review #179 for more surprises. Is the guy in the movie poster above reading our blog's sidebar on the right? You should!

Blawg Review on IP Blog
 This week, on Monday, September 29, 2008, Blawg Review #179 will be hosted on Securing Innovation, the business blog of IP.com and, as those familiar with Blawg Review might anticipate, they plan to create a special theme for that presentation, which will make perfect sense to anyone interested in patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets, innovation management, and intellectual property law and policy. If you've written a blog post you'd like next week's host to include in their presentation of the best law blog posts touching on IP law and policy, or if you come across something on a lawyer's blawg or a company's business blog that you'd like to recommend as fitting and deserving of special consideration, please send a link following these Submission Guidelines for Blawg Review. C'mon, put on your thinking caps.

Blawg Review OneWebDay
 Welcome to OneWebDay at Blawg Review.Blawg Review #178 is being hosted today at Freedom to Differ, the law blog of Peter Black, a lecturer at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. Peter’s research interests focus on legal issues relating to the regulation of the media and the internet. He is a regular contributor to the Internet Law Bulletin and The Business of Law from FindLaw Australia. Peter currently has a contract with Idea Group Publishing to edit a book with Kelley Burton titled Legal and Political Issues of Blogging: Surviving in the Blogosphere.It's perhaps not surprising that Peter Black was scheduled to host Blawg Review on this day. September 22, 2008 is also One Web Day:OneWebDay is an Earth Day for the internet. The idea behind OneWebDay is to focus attention on a key internet value (this year, online participation in democracy), focus attention on local internet concerns (connectivity, censorship, individual skills), and create a global constituency that cares about protecting and defending the internet. So, think of OneWebDay as an environmental movement for the Internet ecosystem. It’s a platform for people to educate and activate others about issues that are important for the Internet’s future.To learn more about One Web Day click here.On the third annual “Earth Day for the Internet”, communities across the country are holding events to learn about and advocate for that marvel of modern infrastructure, the Internet. It happens in the United States and around the world on OneWebDay, Monday, September 22, 2008.“Earth Day was the model when I founded OneWebDay in 2006,” says Susan Crawford, a professor of law specializing in Internet issues at the University of Michigan. “In 1969, one man asked the people to do what their elected representatives would not: take the future of the environment into their own hands.” By 1972, the United States had a federal agency devoted to protecting the environment, the E.P.A., and today a worldwide citizens’ movement has put the environment front and center politically. According to Crawford, “peoples’ lives now are as dependent on the Internet as they are on the basics like roads, energy supplies and running water. We can no longer take that for granted and we must advocate for the Internet politically, and support its vitality personally.”The Internet has also become the means by which citizens around the world build movements to hold their elected leaders accountable and support those who represent their interests; it is also increasingly the medium through which citizens interact with their governments. The theme of this year’s OneWebDay is online participation in democracy, coinciding with the U.S. elections.Watch for a special election-eve Blawg Review this year on Monday, November 3, at The Faculty Lounge.Blawg Review is the blog carnival for everyone interested in law. A peer-reviewed blog carnival, the host of each Blawg Review decides which of the submissions and recommended posts are suitable for inclusion in the presentation. And the host is encouraged to source another dozen or so interesting posts to fit with any special theme of that issue of Blawg Review. The host's personal selections usually include several that reflect the character and subject interests of the host blawg, recognizing that the regular readership of the blog should find some of the usual content, and new readers of the blog via Blawg Review ought to get some sense of the unique perspective and subject specialties of the host. Thanks to all the law bloggers who collaborate to make Blawg Review one of the very best blog carnivals of any genre.Being the anonymous editor of Blawg Review, the Internet has changed my life in ways I cannot tell.

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day
 As a boy, George M. Wallace always wanted to talk like a pirate; in adulthood, he became an insurance lawyer. Click on the graphic above to see his excellent presentation of Blawg Review #153. Arrgh!Mike Dillon, GC of Sun Microsystems, got into the spirit of the day, lifting the spirits of his shipmates and raising some booty for charity:Last week, we celebrated "International Talk Like a Pirate Day". It was a great way for all of us to release a little stress and channel our "inner buccaneer". But we took it a bit farther than most as we not only spoke like pirates, but dressed like them as well.Avast, there!
