SPECIAL BULLETIN FROM THE AMERICAN JUDICATURE SOCIETY

60 Minutes to Report on Eyewitness Identification Reform

The CBS News show, 60 Minutes will air a two-segment report on Eyewitness Identification Reform on Sunday, March 8, 2009, at 7pm EST.

From: News Release-March 3, 2009:

Des Moines, IA – March 3, 2009 – In an editorial in the January-February 2009 issue of its journal, Judicature, the American Judicature Society has called on the new administration to make the restoration and reinvigoration of the Department of Justice a major priority.

The editorial notes that the Department’s reputation for political impartiality and the morale of its personnel are at their lowest ebb since the Department’s nadir in the wake of the Watergate scandal. Recent events, the editorial says, have done serious damage to public confidence in the even-handed administration of justice.

The Future of Today’s Legal Scholarship:

A Symposium in Honor of Bob Oakley July 25, 2009 Georgetown University Law Center Georgetown Law Library About The Future of Today’s Scholarship: A Symposium in Honor of Bob Oakley

The time to debate the role of blogs in legal scholarship has passed. As we approach the end of the first decade of the 21st century, one of our oldest and most conservative disciplines has clearly embraced the era of electronic publishing. Blogging has indeed transformed legal scholarship. Now it’s time to move the dialogue forward.

The New York Appellate Division Fourth Department Law Library has just announced in the Spring 2009 issue of their Law Library Newsletter rolling the introduction of a new online catalog. It will be rolled out during the month of March.

The move to a new system was prompted by the end of vendor development and support for the Horizon software, which has been in use by the library since 2000. The Appellate Division Law Library will launch its own system, CeLLO (Court Law Library Online), and the Supreme Court libraries around the state will launch a different system.

According to library staff, one key advantage to having their own system is that when searching the catalog, users will be able to only pull up titles owned by their library. In the current setup, users often found titles that were not owned by their library, but owned by other law libraries around the state
