Vancouver Sun Covers the Legal Web
A hat tip to Garry Wise because I didn't notice it earlier, but this past Monday the Vancouver Sun published a very flattering article on the influence of the legal web. See: The Internet has become indispensible to the legal world.Sun writer Ian Mulgrew had some nice words to say about a ton of different websites that many VLLB readers frequent on a daily basis; and even included a mention to Stem's lawblogs.ca. Feels like a bit of validation for the hard work many of us put into these resources!

Active Collections
To carry on with one of the thoughts I had on Slaw last week, I'm intrigued by the concept of building active collections. That is, rather than building content collections with static items, that a new (additional) form of collection development can exist that may be more suited to the dynamic nature of the web -- an idea I'd like to call an active collection.Active collections would focus on the publication source rather than the individual content item. Be that an industry association, some other authorizing body, or an individual content publisher such as a blogger. Source authority would be king. And that through mixing the output of these authority sources, and then filtering down for keyword concepts, that we may offer a better mousetrap for surveying the modern web.In recent years, I would argue, there has been a fundamental shift in the way we consume content. The process has become much less precise, with almost a serendipitous quality. When we consider the fact that web-publishing is so easy, and the quantity of commentary so great, our challenge is now two-fold. It's not enough to simply craft collections, we now must offer methodologies (productized & branded if possible) to cull through this vast commentary in an automated way. We need to do this not only for ourselves as Librarians and collection builders, but also for the clients we serve.And the way we do this is to re-focus ourselves on Publisher and Author authority. We evaluate entities on the various metrics available defining reputation, including many of the traditional authority metrics that Librarians have always used.In the past I've always used RSS as my tool of choice when describing the concepts of mixing and filtering; but obviously technologies change, and now I may just as well describe RSS as the tool of the moment. What's consistent is the idea of authority source outputs as a fundamental building block for collection development. RSS just happens to be the best current technology to access this entity publishing stream. Mix up the authorities into a giant cluster, and grind out to the desired level of subject specificity. Not that difficult of a concept really.And to that, I would like to welcome feedback from my fellow blogging librarians and library science academics. What do you think? Can collection development become productized? Do we have something to offer the dynamic web, and that may help the average web user not be so overwhelmed?

Slaw No Longer Just Research
As Simon Fodden announced this morning (ok, well it's morning on the west coast...) Slaw has not only expanded in its number of core contributors recently, but we've also made the decision to increase our topic coverage beyond the realm of legal research and information sources.The addition of the Three Dave's this past week was a bit of a new beginning for our group. Three years have passed and we're all looking to re-engage. It's not that legal research and the use of legal information isn't still important to us. And the fact that its something that all Slaw members have in common means that it will remain core to what we do... but, it was definitely time to recognize the slippery slope we've been heading down:Slaw produces commentary on all things relevant to the legal industry with a uniquely Canadian spin. Doesn't sound so bad. Does it?Labels: slaw

Alberta Municipal Bylaws
Released today on the CALL listserv, Mary Hemmings, Assistant Director at the University of Calgary Law Library shared the Alberta Bylaws Digitization Project. A new collection providing access to historical Municipal Bylaws, available for both searching and browsing (by year).The project, she adds, 'began on a modest scale in 2004 and is now picking up momentum'. The collection is highlighted as 'new' on the website.I've had nice things to say about Alberta's Our Future Our Past website in the past, and still love the work they're producing. Archival capturing of bylaws allows for better research, documentation for municipal history, and comparisons of local government over time. Not always the makings of headline news, but important to the concept of legacy, and for future generations.You can visit www.ourfutureourpast.ca and find a number of similar top-quality collections. It's a great model, and one that other provinces would do well to follow.

The Dave's Debut at Slaw.ca
Our list of collaborators expanded at Slaw today; and interestingly all go by the same name: Dave! Joing us at the Canadian legal blogging co-op are David Bilinsky, David Canton, and David Fraser.Clipped from the welcome post...David Bilinsky is the Practice Management Advisor and staff lawyer for the Law Society of British Columbia. His impressive CV includes such items as being Chair of the Editorial Board for Law Practice Magazine, published by the ABA; founding the Pacific Legal Technology Conference; and being a former ABA Techshow Chair. David also blogs at Thoughtfullaw.com. David Fraser is the founder of the Canadian Privacy Law Blog, and notably one of Canada’s first blogging lawyers. He is a member of the faculty of Dalhousie Law School, where he teaches Internet and Media Law, Law and Technology, and Law and Policy for Electronic Commerce. We also are looking forward to seeing Mr. Fraser start blogging on topics outside of Privacy Law, to which we’re told to expect some controversy. Right David? ;) David Canton, is a renowned Canadian technology blogger providing his commentary at canton.elegal.ca. David practices with Harrison Pensa in London Ontario, where he is a business lawyer and trade-mark agent with a focus on technology issues and technology companies. David also writes a column for the London Free Press, and has authored a book Legal Landmines in E-Commerce.I'm very excited to have these guys join our team over at Slaw. Each brings a wealth of history and knowledge, and an influx of new blood can't hurt either. Welcome aboard gentlemen! :)Labels: slaw

Free Magazines at LegalPubs.ca
We're starting the monetization experiment over at LegalPubs, offering free magazines and white papers in the right-hand sidebar.This has been done via an affiliate partnership with Tradepub.com, with whom I've had many years of past success, marketing these same offers via BPubs free magazines. The subscriptions (usually one year in length) are legitimately free, with the user exchanging their demographic profile for the subscription. The magazines, in turn, are able to charge more for advertising because they have a documented profile of their user base.Please drop by if you get a chance!

(who painstakingly created accounts for everyone in the VALL membership)This is probably the last big piece of my VALL Presidency, and something I really wanted to get accomplished. To say I'm proud would be an understatement. I am very proud of the work we did, and thankful for having such a fantastic team!!Labels: VALL

New Photo
Marking a moment here. I've finally ditched my four year old photo: here on the VLLB, on the linkblog, on my Steve Matthews profile page over at Stem, and the Law Firm Web Strategy blog.And for the fun of it, here's they are side-by-side:  Steve (circa 2004) is 30 lbs heavier around the middle (yay!), and unfortunately also on the top (meh..) The bags under my eyes? consistent in both. ;)

Plain Legal Language - A New Book & Interview with Cheryl Stephens
 Nothing should make one feel better than to promote a colleague who's written a new book. And along those lines, I offer my post today partly to congratulate, and partly to help promote, the launch of Cheryl Stephens' new e-book Plain Language Legal Writing; available for purchase at LuLu.com.Cheryl Stephens, who some of you may know from Building Rapport, the plain language blog, is a leader in the field of plain language communication, and provides training and workshops to clients all over North America.The following short interview discusses both Cheryl's approach to plain legal language, and a bit more about the book launch.--SM: Thanks Cheryl, I guess the best place to start is to find out exactly plain language is?CS: Plain language is writing, or any language, that is clear and understandable, so that it’s easy for people to get — and use — information that is important to a person's life.SM: What kind of information?CS: Well, think of anyplace you’ve seen legalese in your own life: contracts, regulations, waiver forms and releases, even the agreement you have to sign whenever you install software or sign up for something online.SM: You’re saying those things don’t have to be written in legalese. Are we going to lose something when it comes to more complex discourse?CS: There is no reason that legal language — language regulating legal rights and duties — has to be incomprehensible. It can be made plain enough for its intended audience.Plain legal language is being written every day. Those who defend out-dated, poorly-written gibberish on the grounds of its complexity should be embarrased.SM: So what's the process? What do lawyers to know to write in plain English?CS: We have a process which takes into account the reader's interest, reading skill, and need for the information. It is an elaboration of the classical approach to writing effectively.By the way, we now talk about plain language instead of plain English, because the ideas apply to communication in any language. Whatever the language, the aim is clarity and usefulness of the information.In English, a number of shortcuts and guidelines have been developed to help the person who is not a writer by profession. Most of the US state laws requiring plain English set out some of these as requirements or measurements of plainness. In Canada, the laws tend to demand qualities like "clear" or "readable" and so on.SM: Ok, so explain more about the new book -- Plain Language Legal Writing -- How is it different, and why did you write it?CS: A lot of books have been written about legal drafting — writing contracts or drafting laws. But I am addressing a more basic need. All lawyers need to be able to write clearly and plainly for clients and the public. They write letters, opinions… That’s what my book addresses.SM: Explain the contest. What’s that all about?CS: It’s a contest to rewrite a section of the U.S. Copyright Act — both to rewrite it as the law would look in plain English, and to write a clear explanation for the general public.I want to show the difference between legal drafting and legal writing. One task is to redraft the legislation in plain language, and that’s a specialized skill. Not every lawyer needs to know how to do that. But the other task, to explain the law in plain language — that’s a skill every lawyer does need.SM: And that’s what your new book is about?CS: Yes. I wanted to write a simple but complete guide for lawyers who want to make their writing clearer.--VLLB readers can visit PlainLanguageLegalWriting.com to find out more about the book, and the drafting contest. A big congrats to Cheryl on the new book, and continued success to her in the future!Cheers!SteveLabels: plain legal language

Kevin O'Keefe Takes a Vacation! And Why I Won't Be
Stop the presses! Lawyer blog evangelist Kevin O'Keefe is taking a vacation! ... Hey Kevin, I thought you said that wasn't allowed? :) And that was a rhetorical question, of course. Kevin can save his comments or blogging for a couple weeks.I do think the gang at Lexblog should have a cat's away challenge, and see who can do the best 'Fake Kevin' blog post. In the same vein as the Fake Steve Jobs - smeared with sarcasm, and with just enough truth to poke fun at the boss.On a more serious note ...The altering of vacations is a wake-up call for most business owners, myself included. I say altering, because the two week-er is still a tough one to schedule. That doesn't mean down time isn't possible, but it often has to be taken in shorter blocks. My current strategy has been to extended a weekend; or to take the laptop with me, and to get my 'piece of mind' back by logging in periodically each day. But a complete shut-down style vacation? I still don't have that one figured out.I think most business owners, lawyers included, consider the lack of vacations a worthy trade-off for doing something they love. But that doesn't mean it isn't a challenge. Even if you fully accept the idea that there is no work-life balance, and that life is more about finding the right blend -- everyone, at some point, needs an extended period of down-time.Personally, I won't be taking a vacation this summer; for a number of reasons... First, Stem is closing in on its first year of operation, and honestly, I'm still pretty energized. The novelty hasn't worn off, and for now, figure I'd better use it to my advantage. I also have my first employee starting shortly, and am hoping this person will not only help easy my workload, but integrate into operations to the point where a semi digital-free vacation will be a future possibility.I'm not discounting the value of a vacation, but like many things in life, think it requires planning. I'm also open to suggestions... If you have a personal strategy for vacations you'd like to share, please chime in.

Oh Canada... Rogers Canadian IPhone 3G Pricing
Looks like pricing for Rogers 3G iPhone will delay Canada's adoption. See the press release, but once again Canadian consumers will be hit with some of the world's worst data plan charges. Seriously - a regular cell phone user will hit $100-150 monthly, and still may trigger overage charges.Another point. The fact that 3G technology is coming to Canada - a technology that's supposed to revolutionize the high-volume mobile web - probably means little without an unlimited data plan even being on Rogers menu. A good quote taken from Mark Evans post:The early feedback from the wireless-only people in our office and the comments flowing in is that the Rogers plans are terrible, and the lack of an unlimited, all-you-can-eat data plan a la AT&T in the U.S. is a “joke”.The great Canadian mobile fleecing continues.... I think I'm on the iPhone boycott list for the foreseeable future.Labels: iPhone

New Report on BC Legislation Tracking
It's been well covered in the last 24 hrs between Connie & I; but once more on my home turf:Connie Crosby has published a new white paper comparing the two main BC legislation tracking services - Quickscribe & QP. As I mentioned over on the company blog, the report also offers a number of suggestions for the improvement for both products. And regardless of which one you subscribe to, it should prove an insightful read on how legislation tracking might be improved for the future.The report also coincides with the launch of Connie's new website for Crosby Group Consulting; to which I'd like to offer a hardy congratulations!Labels: BC Legislation, Quickscribe

Testing Lexmonitor's Threaded Post Tracking
As I noted on Law Firm Web Strategy yesterday, the gang over at Lexblog are moving beyond the world of designing law blogs. This past Saturday, Kevin O'Keefe & company soft-launched a new legal blog monitoring tool called Lexmonitor.One of the really cool features Lexmonitor is testing out, is a threaded-post tracking feature that seems very techmeme-esque. So, to give this thing a run for its money, I'm going to experiment by linking into some of the blog coverage about Lexmonitor. In theory, the posts should thread together on the Lexmonitor homepage.Other law blog coverage so far:Doug Cornelius at KM SpaceBlawg ReviewMike McBrideCarolyn Elefant at Legal Blog WatchNick Holmes at Binary LawLike I said, in theory all these posts should string together; similar to Techmeme's conversation threading, with the quantity of inter-linked conversations identifying the hottest topics.And like Kevin said, "soft-launch". No critique either way, but let's press the gas pedal a bit. shall we? :)Labels: lexmonitor

The Good Work of Lawyers
This post is a bit off my regular beat, but as this is my personal blog, I'd like some leeway for a bit of a tangent... :)In a world where the legal profession doesn't always get much positive press, I'd like to highlight the work of one local lawyer I recently became aware of.I got a chance to meet Lorne Welwood a few weeks ago, when my wife started practising at his law firm. Lorne is a founding partner at Abbotsford firm of Welwood Wiens Warkentin; but the interesting part about Lorne is that he also serves as the Executive Director for Hope Services, a BC Adoption Agency.Perhaps it's just me, but the concept of a senior practitioner donating a substantial portion of his time to an adoption agency, while still managing a legal practice, is pretty amazing. It's one thing to donate time to a cause. A lot of lawyers do, in fact. But having the vision to see the legal skill set as an opportunity to expand life's calling, is extremely admirable.It also strikes me that this a big world, and a story like this can't be that unusual. And with the hordes of legal bloggers out there; there might be other stories to tell? So, give it some thought. Do you have a story about the good work of lawyers? Consider dropping a comment on this post, or blogging about it!

Breaking the Twitter Habit? or, Is Jaiku betamax?
Full marks to Scott Vine at Informationoverlord for his roundup on micro-blogging services titled Is Jaiku betamax?. Scott makes the important point that it's all about where his friends are, and not necessarily how maxed out the feature list is.Both Scott & I are big fans of twitter, so this isn't a question of allegiances. But with respect to the micro-blogging platforms available and their value to users, I have to wonder ... If there was an open micro-blogging standard, where the front end didn't matter, would twitter still be the tool of choice?If the people at twitter are smart, they will protect this network at all costs. Don't blame them. Best thing they could do is pretend they own a brand new DNS (analogy) for resolving short-web messaging -- right in the middle of the web's latest layer of infrastructure. Building stability at all costs.Or in the alternative, someone should create an OpenID equivalent for trusted 'friends' and networking contacts. With the number of email alerts required to seed each new system, portability is becoming increasingly important.There are plausible alternatives either way, with reliability & user satisfaction still being the deciding factors - IMO. I suspect Scott may yet get to choose his micro-blogging platform. It may just take some time, and Twitter's short term execution will either satisfy or drive others to innovate.
