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.<br /><br />Blawg Review links a <a href="http://www.patentbaristas.com/archives/2008/09/25/flash-of-genius-in-theatres/">patent attorney's preview</a> 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.<blockquote>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.<br /><br />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.</blockquote><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KsZtQ51Gt1A/SOEesOfa-MI/AAAAAAAAAMg/f_4dNJb1coY/s1600-h/Flash-of-Genius.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KsZtQ51Gt1A/SOEesOfa-MI/AAAAAAAAAMg/f_4dNJb1coY/s400/Flash-of-Genius.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251512385643673794" /></a><a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/flashofgenius/">Click here to watch the movie trailer</a>, and check out this week's <a href="http://www.securinginnovation.com/2008/09/articles/patents/blawg-review-179/">Blawg Review #179</a> for more surprises.

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.<br /><br />It's perhaps not surprising that <a href="http://www.law.qut.edu.au/staff/lsstaff/pblack.jsp">Peter Black</a> was scheduled to host Blawg Review on this day. September 22, 2008 is also <a href="http://onewebday.org/">One Web Day</a>:<blockquote>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.</blockquote>To learn more about One Web Day <a href="http://onewebday.org/">click here</a>.<br /><br />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.<blockquote>“Earth Day was the model when I founded OneWebDay in 2006,” says <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Crawford_(Professor)">Susan Crawford</a>, 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.”</blockquote>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.<br /><br />Watch for a special election-eve Blawg Review this year on Monday, November 3, at <a href="http://www.thefacultylounge.org/">The Faculty Lounge</a>.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Being <a href="http://blawgreview.blogspot.com/2006/01/not-editor-of-blawg-review.html">the anonymous editor of Blawg Review</a>, the Internet has changed my life in ways I cannot tell.

Colin's post has already prompted Anne Reed to return to blogging at <a href="http://jurylaw.typepad.com/deliberations/">Deliberations</a> with five good blogs to start September. And Jordan Furlong at <a href="http://law21.ca/2008/09/03/5-blogs-and-5-blawgers/">Law21</a> has followed up with his own excellent list of 5 Blogs & 5 Blawgers.

Susan Cartier Liebel tagged <a href="http://nylawblog.typepad.com/suigeneris/2008/09/tagged--5-great.html">Nicole Black</a>, as did <a href="http://scoop.jdsupra.com/2008/09/articles/jd-supra-updates/tagged-five-blogs-five-blawgers/">Adrian Lurssen</a>. Among others, Niki tagged <a href="http://feministlawprofs.law.sc.edu/?p=4020">Ann Bartow</a>, who -- well ---tagged everyone else. Bartow's tag prompted <a href="http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/2008/09/five_favorite_n.html">Frank Pasquale</a> to link to his five favorite non-legal blogs. <a href="http://www.mayitpleasethecourt.com/journal.asp?blogid=1898">Craig Williams</a> picked up his podcast partner Bob Ambrogi's tag and went overboard, tagging "six", including the Editor of Blawg Review, which brings us full circle.<br /><br />Diane Levin at <a href="http://mediationchannel.com/2008/09/03/5-blogs-and-5-blawgers/">Mediation Channel</a> has posted five excellent blog links and has tagged five more blawgers she thinks will have more good blogs to share with fellow law bloggers. <a href="http://www.legaline.com/2008/09/tagged-by-5-blogs-5-blawgers-meme.html">Bob Ambrogi</a>, whom she tagged with this meme, didn't disappoint with his 5 blogs and 5 blawgers. Among others, Bob tagged <a href="http://healthblawg.typepad.com/healthblawg/2008/09/5-blogs-5-blawgers.html">David Harlow</a>, who tagged five blawgers, including <a href="http://www.newyorkpersonalinjuryattorneyblog.com/2008/09/five-blogs-and-five-lawyers.html">Eric Turkewitz</a>. Turk tagged <a href="http://druganddevicelaw.blogspot.com/2008/09/okay-well-play.html">Beck/Hermann</a>, who tagged <a href="http://classactionblawg.com/2008/09/10/5-blogs-5-blawgers/">Paul Karlsgodt</a>.

One health care law blogger, David Harlow, tagged another, <a href="http://healthcarebloglaw.blogspot.com/2008/09/5-blogs-5-blawgers.html">Bob Coffield</a>.<br /><br />Across the pond, <a href="http://charonqc.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/another-meme-but-an-interesting-one/">Charon QC</a> charted a course for the British with his choices of 5 blogs and 5 blawgers to participate in what he says is an interesting meme -- but that might be the Rioja talking. Charon QC tagged <a href="http://headoflegal.blogspot.com/2008/09/meme-tagged.html">Carl Gardner</a> and <a href="http://pupillageandhowtogetit.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/interesting-non-law-blogs/">Simon Myerson</a>.

Smith's review is a throwback of sorts to the early days of Blawg Review when hosts simply collected the best legal blogging of the previous week without packaging it (or, as in the cases of my own Blawg Reviews, overpackaging it) in a themed presentation. Highlights include thinking randomly about randomness, worrying about internet law, and forcing the transgendered to sit out the war on terror.<br /><br />Jamie Spencer will host <a href="http://dwi.austindefense.com/2008/09/articles/other-blogs/blawg-review-175/">Blawg Review #175</a> at his Austin DWI Lawyer blog next Monday.Editornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11518650.post-70326725739104767092008-08-18T21:33:00.009-04:002008-08-18T22:25:11.801-04:002008-08-18T22:25:11.801-04:00Promising Rookie Signed<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KsZtQ51Gt1A/SKookSAQVpI/AAAAAAAAALo/ICdpyuBN8pM/s1600-h/toronto-scout.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KsZtQ51Gt1A/SKookSAQVpI/AAAAAAAAALo/ICdpyuBN8pM/s400/toronto-scout.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236042120544933522" /></a><br />Omar Ha-Redeye, founder of the <a href="http://lawiscool.com/2008/08/18/omar-ha-redeye-law-is-cool-founder-joins-slaw/">Law Is Cool</a> blog, has been signed by <a href="http://www.slaw.ca/2008/08/18/welcome-omar-ha-redeye/">Slaw.ca</a>, whose starting lineup includes heavy-hitters Simon Chester and Connie Crosby.<br /><br />Rumours in the Toronto dugout lead us to suspect that the idea of signing this promising "free agent" followed talks with Slaw management <a href="http://blawgreview.blogspot.com/2008/07/major-league-blawger-meetup.html">after this memorable ballgame</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Photo Credit: David Cooper, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/playoffs/2006-10-02-cover-scouting_x.htm">USA TODAY</a></span>Editornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11518650.post-32404224952697049252008-08-11T01:50:00.012-04:002008-08-18T18:44:29.615-04:002008-08-18T18:44:29.615-04:00Citius, Altius, Fortius<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.nationalpost.com/sports/beijing-games/story.html?id=714420"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://a123.g.akamai.net/f/123/12465/1d/www.nationalpost.com/sports/beijing-games/714421.bin?size=404x272" border="0" alt="" /></a>As many who are following the <a href="http://en.beijing2008.cn/">2008 Beijing Olympics</a> know, these three Latin words meaning "Swifter, Higher, Stronger" are the motto of the Olympics.

My recommendation, along with two others, can be read in the latest issue of the ABA's <a href="http://www.abanet.org/lpm/magazine/articles/v34/is5/pg10.shtml">Law Practice Magazine</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://trustedadvisor.com/books.trustedadvisor/">I recommend The Trusted Advisor</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://trustedadvisor.com/books.trustedadvisor/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px;" src="http://trustedadvisor.com/public/Image/cover_ta.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>The theme of The Trusted Advisor (Free Press, 2000) is that the key to professional success is not just technical mastery of one’s discipline, but also the ability to work with clients in a way that earns their trust and gains their confidence. This book is a seminal treatise on the subject of trust.<br /><br />Most, if not all, young lawyers starting out as new associates in established firms want to get ahead as fast as they can. Freshly minted from a competitive law school environment, they typically think being the best lawyer is all about mastering the law. Authors David Maister, Charles H. Green and Robert M. Galford write this:<blockquote>“Then comes that crucial career transition, from technician to full professional, from content expert to advisor. As technicians, our task is to provide information, analyses, research, content and even recommendations. All of these are basically tasks performed out of the client’s presence. In contrast, our task as advisors is an ‘in-person,’ ‘in-contact’ challenge to help the client see things anew or to make a decision. This requires a complete change of skills and mind-sets.”</blockquote>Lawyers who make this career transition, achieving the status of trusted advisor, know the meaning of true professionalism and, unlike so many of their colleagues, really enjoy the practice of law. For young lawyers starting out, there’s no book I’d recommend more highly than this one.Editornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11518650.post-33242552092145359412008-07-22T11:04:00.007-04:002008-09-26T13:37:37.060-04:002008-09-26T13:37:37.060-04:00If You Like It, Link ItIf you like <a href="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/latest_70.html">the current issue of Blawg Review</a> and you think your blog readers might find something interesting in it for them, please, for everyone's sake, don't hesitate to link to it.<br /><br />Our helpful Blawg Review Sherpa, <a href="http://infamyorpraise.blogspot.com/2008/07/sometimes-whisper-is-shout.html">Colin Samuels, shows the way</a>.
