LexBlog Law Network Roundup - 7/2/09

This week I'm saving the 'live blogs' post for last because it's really kind of incredible. There were a few lest posts than normal today, which makes sense, as I'm sure plenty of people were getting out early for the long weekend. For those still around, here's today's best posts.

LexBlog Law Network Roundup - 7/1/09

Lots of good news today, a de facto Thursday for those of us who have a four day work week. For those of you who don't go to firework shows and chose to do their own, we have some tips on firework safety. We also have some analysis on what the Bernie Madoff means for the future, and not just the short term future, the next 150 years.

Today brings more legal analysis on major news stories. We have multiple posts on Michael Jackson's estate as well a great post by Daniel Schwartz on what employers can learn from the Riccie v. DeStefano SCOTUS case.

After a weekend of baseball games, rafting and extreme sunburn I'm back with another set of the day's best. I hope everyone else enjoyed their days off. Today, we have multiple posts on the Ricci v. DeStefano case in the Supreme Court. Have a look at what appears to be the most prominent legal story of the day.

Another great week comes to a close. It's a gorgeous day in Missoula and I'm going to wrap this up so I can head to a ballgame, Opening Day for the Missoula Osprey. As could be expected, we have a few posts on the legal fallout from Michael Jackson's death. Have a look and enjoy the weekend everyone.

This roundup comes in a little bit tardy due to the first round of the NBA Draft, as fellow LexBlogger Jared Sulzdorf and I watched his Timberwolves draft two three point guards. Wow. In other news, we have a post on the student strip-search case in the SCOTUS and a family law perspective on Jon and Kate.

LexBlog Law Network Roundup - 6/24/09

Very interesting posts today on a variety of topics that have been in the news lately. It's always good when I can compile a list that closely resembles the front page of a newspaper, but with every story being a legal take on what the mainstream media has. Today, J. Benjamin Stevens has news on Governor Mark Sanford's affair and the best iPhone apps for busy attorneys while Salvatore Zambri has some legal analysis on the Metrorail crash.

Today was a little bit slower than normal as far as content goes so I pulled what I could from those who were writing on Father's Day. However, that certainly doesn't mean we're entirely without some great content. Today, Chuck Becker has his opinion on what is the most important environmental law case ever and there is a very interesting post by Patrick Maines on the negative impact these trying times have had on the journalistic ethics of some mainstream media outlets.

It's become common knowledge that employers are wary of what potential hires might have on various social networks so they may include those in their background checks. The city of Bozeman, Montana has taken things a step further and asked that applicants list the usernames and passwords for the social networking sites they are members of. Reason 1,265 why Missoula is a much better place.

We have news from the Executive Office today with takes on President Obama wanting to create an Ocean Policy Task Force and what impact his financial regulatory reforms will have on the insurance industry. There's also an interesting post on how those in the pharma industry can use social media.
