Binary Law
Binary Law focuses on legal information: how it is authored, edited, managed, processed and published; who uses it, why and what for; its syntax and semantics. More broadly it covers digital publishing issues: format, design and style, technologies, marketing, and copyright, particularly as they relate to publishing by lawyers and those serving in the legal industry. The author, Nick Holmes, is a publishing consultant specializing in the UK legal sector and is Managing Director of Infolaw which offers a range of legal information, products and services.

What about clients?
In a series of recent posts, Jordan Furlong gives his slant on the arguments at the heart of Richard Susskind’s thesis: Decoupling price from cost in legal services: In order to turn a profit, firms will be forced to streamline their costs of production, whatever they might be. The market...
Barristers’ CPD - don’t panic
In his inimitable style Geeklawyer trashes the need for CPD for barristers: “let’s bin the **** rubbish”. That pending, he recommends using a cheap online CPD provider. I couldn’t agree more. By far the best value in town are the two current Legal Web ebooks with CPD which Delia V...
The future of lawyers
I have not yet found on the public access web anything approaching a review of Richard Susskind’s The End of Lawyers? (Oxford University Press). So I must conclude I’m one of the few who have actually read it from cover to cover. To say I’ve read it is a bit of an exaggeration; I...

Way to go Law Society Gazette
Must have been asleep or too busy these last few months to notice that the Law Society Gazette has morphed into a wonderful site: Online the Gazette is as radically changed [as the print edition], with all sections of the magazine represented. Most importantly, each area of Gazette coverage is now...
Blogging is normal - let’s move on
An article in this week’s Economist concludes: Gone, in other words, is any sense that blogging as a technology is revolutionary, subversive or otherwise exalted, and this upsets some of its pioneers. Confirmed, however, is the idea that blogging is useful and versatile. In essence, it is a s...

In praise of editors
In the The end of the story - as we know it in Guardian Media Jeff Jarvis republishes the argument in his earlier blog post that The building block of journalism is no longer the article. Single posts, videos, Wikipedia entries or search results may be new building blocks of media, but we need...
exCiting Times
I’ve mentioned Feedity before - a natty feed generator which will scrape a web page and deliver a feed based on the linked list(s) it finds there. It usually returns some unwanted links too, but you can then tweek the feed to deliver just the main items. Since last I wrote, Feedity has moved...
