A lazy day today spent hiding from the heat with Hugo, with Seanna heading up to the Rogers Cup to see Nadal get swarmed by fans. Tomorrow I’ll paddle five hours, the last long paddle before I cross Lake O (Niagara-on-the-Lake to Toronto) in a couple weeks with Max from Halifax and P.J. from L.A., both who I connected with through this blog. Turns out Max from Halifax is a friend of a friend, which is exactly why I like Halifax so much.
Here are some readings that you might find interesting.
- Dean Jobb, “Courts Struggle to balance privacy and openness in giving access to court files over the internet.” This is a good news story on electronic filing and access to court documents in Canada. (The Lawyers Weekly)
- Ralph Losey, “More ‘Must Read’ 2008 Cases – Part One in a Three Part Series.” Ralph Losey normally does very in-depth analysis of e-discovery cases. Here, he’s started in on a three-part series of posts featuring bottom-line summaries of the top American cases of 2008. (E-Discovery Team)
- Tracey R. Rich, “Find Evidence on Your Opponent’s Web Site.” This is a great article on some fancy internet intelligence tactics, and has some citations to case law on the use of information from the Wayback Machine as evidence. (Law.com)
- John F. Burns, “Decision is Near in Sensational London Trial of Privacy Suit by a Consenting Adult” and “A Trial About Privacy in Which None Remains.” A fascinating privacy trial regarding International Automobile Federation President Max Mosley, who’s suing The News of the World for breaking a story (and publishing a secretly-taken video) about a sadomasochistic “party” he had with a five prostitutes. If that wasn’t interesting enough, apparently a spoliation issue has now been raised. According to the Times, there’s a concern that relevant e-mails containing key evidence sent by Mr. Mosley to the other partygoers have been deleted. (New York Times)
- Jonathan Glater, “At the Uneasy Intersection of Bloggers and the Law.” About a criminal subpoena filed (and ultimately withdrawn) in an attempt to identify the authors of anonymous posts on a political blog called Room Eight. (New York Times)
