Plenary: CLAY SHIRKY
Audience:
Technical Level:
"...Since discovering the net in
1993, the things I’ve spent my time thinking through, working on,
and writing about have varied widely.
I have been a producer, programmer, professor, designer,
author, consultant, sometimes working with people who wanted to create
a purely intellectual or aesthetic experience online, sometimes working
with people who wanted to use the internet to sell books or batteries
or banking.
While doing this work, I have always written about
whatever interested me at the time: the philosophical characteristics
of WAP; the change Napster portends for internet architecture; the price
of information in a system with no delivery bottleneck; the approach to
representation of 3D space in shoot-’em-up games; the effects of
the British Empire on the use of English on the net; the particular brand
of lies favored by new media marketers.
I have pursued these things with no particular goal
other than clarifying for myself what it is I think. There is no grand
scheme there, no central goal, no master plan..."
Some quotes from a recent article "Situated
Software" on www.shirky.com:
"...Situated software isn't a technological
strategy so much as an attitude about closeness of fit between software
and its group of users, and a refusal to embrace scale, generality or
completeness as unqualified virtues. Seen in this light, the obsession
with personalization of Web School software is an apology for the obvious
truth -- most web applications are impersonal by design, as they are built
for a generic user. Allowing the user to customize the interface of a
Web site might make it more useful, but it doesn't make it any more personal
than the ATM putting your name on the screen while it spits out your money..."
"...So what happens next? If what
I'm seeing is not transitory or limited to a narrow set of situations,
then we'll see a rise in these small form-fit applications. This will
carry some obvious downsides, including tying the developers of such applications
to community support roles, and shortening the useful lifespan of the
software made in this way.
Expectations of longevity, though, are the temporal
version of scale -- we assume applications should work for long periods
in part because it costs so much to create them. Once it's cheap and easy
to throw together an application, though, that rationale weakens. Businesses
routinely ask teams of well-paid people to put hundreds of hours of work
creating a single PowerPoint deck that will be looked at in a single meeting.
The idea that software should be built for many users, or last for many
years, are cultural assumptions not required by the software itself.
Indeed, as a matter of effect, most software built
for large numbers of users or designed to last indefinitely fails at both
goals anyway. Situated software is a way of saying "Most software
gets only a few users for a short period; why not take advantage of designing
with that in mind?"
This, strangely, is a kind of progress, not because
situated software will replace other kinds of applications, but because
it mostly won't. For all the value we get out of the current software
ecosystem, it doesn't include getting an application built for a handful
of users to use for a few months. Now, though, I think we're starting
to see a new software niche, where communities get form-fit tools for
very particular needs, tools that fail most previous test of design quality
or success, but which nevertheless function well, because they are so
well situated in the community that uses them."

Wireless Policies and Network Lockdown: Can We, Should
We?
Audience:
Technical Level:
This program will focus on restricting access
to computing resources that are generally "unlocked" and discuss
the implications of decisions
to lockdown a computer or network service. We will begin by presenting
a variety of existing restrictions and develop several broad categories
of access restriction ranging from kiosk to unlimited workstation.
Discussion will include various technical
methods for imposing rules on users. Finally we will consider the practical,
day-to-day effects, the
larger social implications and non-technical, social, methods of imposing
restrictive policies. Goals: Participants will become familiar with several
technical methods for restricting resources and will become aware of non-technical
effects of restrictions.

THE SCOUT PORTAL TOOLKIT FOR WEB/DATABASE LEGAL MATERIALS
Audience: faculty, librarians
Technical Level: low
The Scout Portal Toolkit is used to provide
web based databases of legal materials. There are many ways for the technologically
sophisticated and the well
funded law schools to create web based databases of useful legal material
but there are not as many for those individuals or groups who lack technical
expertise or lack funding to obtain those to do the same thing. The Scout
Portal Toolkit offers a way for the latter individuals and institutions
to make useful databases available on the web.
My web based database is Law Scout http://lawscout.uakron.edu/
and here is a blurb I received...
Legal Pathfinders
New Resource, Law Scout Takes to the Web <http://lawscout.uakron.edu/>
This "just announced" resource is the work of law librarian
and law
professor, Paul Richert, at the University of Akron Law School. It uses
software from the Internet
Scout Project's Portal Toolkit . Law Scout provides access
(direct links) to pathfinders from law schools and other institutions.
New material is being added on a regular basis. More information and a
few caveats can be found in the announcement section at the top of the
site. Kudos to Paul on a job well done. This site and the materials it
provides access to has the potential to save you a great deal of time
when doing legal research.

Winning Litigation through Strategic Profiling - CourtLink
Strategic Profiles
Audience:
Technical Level:
Today's litigation calls for a more effective
and efficient approach to client representation during discovery. As corporate
counsel increase their litigation budgets, they are also becoming savvier
in their selection of primary counsel - focusing on counsel who demonstrate
an ability to reduce costs and strategically handle the challenges associated
with discovery. To this end, legal professionals are recognizing the importance
of conducting investigative research during discovery.
The vast amount of information available online,
both free to the user and by subscription, can make such efforts difficult.
Ultimately, the overwhelming number of search engines and other tools
can render the researcher less productive than hoped. LexisNexis understands
the frustration experienced by researchers and has responded by creating
a new tool that makes such investigation more effective and efficient.
In particular, LexisNexis has unveiled a litigation profiling tool that
leverages court records information to uncover the full litigation history
of the key players in litigation - CourtLink Strategic Profiles. The ability
to profile a judge, opposing counsel and litigants litigation history
is increasingly becoming a critical component of the discovery effort.
This program provides exposure to this new technology and offers real
best practices from firms throughout the country that are enhancing their
approach to litigation through strategic profiling.

Just the Fact's Ma'am? An Activity-Theoretical Approach
to Legal Information Retrieval Performance
Audience: Faculty and Law Librarians
Technical: Low
Despite widespread availability of information retrieval
systems in law, evaluation of large commercial legal information retrieval
systems (such as Lexis and Westlaw) has been problematic. This session
describes a preliminary attempt to develop an alternative method of legal
information retrieval evaluation based upon Activity Theory. Law school
Lexis and Westlaw users were examined. The data was interpreted with a
focus on breakdowns in user interaction with the system. An easy to administer
methodology which librarians can use to get a feel for how their information
systems are performing for their users will be discussed.

WHY EVERY FACULTY MEMBER SHOULD AUTHOR A CALI LESSON
Audience: law faculty
Technical Level: low
This session flips the usual discussion of
how the use of CALI lessons improves one's teaching and discuss instead
how authoring CALI lessons improves one's teaching. Based on my experience
authoring CALI lessons, I will talk about how writing those lessons improved
my teaching by forcing me to deal fully with the following issues in a
systematic way:
- Organization: How things best fit together; what the
sequence of
topics should be; what background is needed to tackle a particular topic
- Importance: What are the major points we want students
to retain?
What's the relative importance of various topics? What can safely be
omitted? What am I omitting that I shouldn't?
- Student errors: How are students likely to misunderstand
particular
topics and why? What wrong answers are they likely to come up with and
how should I anticipate that? How should I deal with their
misunderstanding?
- Approach: How should I approach particular topics?
What's best
handled by lecture? What type of questioning works best for each topic?
How should I formulate those questions? What are good and bad
hypotheticals and why?
- Detailed understanding of a topic: All of us have little
gaps in
knowledge because we don't teach particular subtopics. Authoring allows
us to fill those gaps and decide if they really are important enough
to
exclude.

http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5185453.html
By David Becker
CNET News.com
What is a portal really? We’ll show
you what we think a portal should be. The Vanderbilt Law School is deploying
its second generation Intranet Portal built on Microsoft SharePoint Portal
Server 2003 August 1st, 2004. We also have built a custom SQL data warehouse
and various applications that are accessed through the portal. We call
the complete suite of applications and data warehouse PECO. (The PE stands
for people and CO stands for courses.) We will briefly demonstrate how
we leverage PECO data through the portal. We will strive to make this
presentation as much as a demonstration as possible of the many different
features, services, and customizations, that the Law School's Portal has
to offer. Some of those are as follows:
- Law School data consolidation built on MS SQL.
- In-house People/Course/Room/Event scheduling Web based
data entry and reporting Application (PECO).
- Utilize existing AD directory infrastructure for authentication
and authorization.
- Built in Content management tools.
- Document collaboration.
- Document Control.
- Document versioning.
- E-portfolios.
- Centralized and current Law School forms, policies,
and procedures.
- Extensive Search and indexing of internal and external
resources.
- Simple web based remote access to all services without
a VPN.
- One site with Different views and targeted content
based on audiences.
- Build a sense of community.
- Extranet access for Law School and non law school colleagues
for document.
- Collaboration. (books, articles, etc….)
- Push technologies.
- Targeting content to audiences.
- Personal customizable “My Site” in addition
to main portal.
- Office 2003 Integration.
- Ad hoc Workspace creation.
- Tech Training resources

BOOKLOCKER AND ELECTRONIC E-BOOKS FOR LAW STUDENTS
Audience: All
Technical Level: Low
Over the past 4 years, we have been searching
for a way to securely distribute course books, packs and other digital
material for our students. Up until recently, we have hit numerous barriers.
Publishers have been reluctant to provide digital content because of the
numerous copyright, distribution and usage problems.
The past 2 semesters we have partnered with MDRM, Dell and numerous publishers
in piloting a digital rights management device codenamed "BookLocker"
in our College of Law.
" BookLocker" is a next-generation infrastructure
that allows a secure solution for publishers to distribute, manage and
update digital content while providing users a portable, friendly experience
spanning multiple electronic devices including laptops, desktops, PDA's,
tablets, smart phones and televisions.
We are encouraged by the results and are evaluating various implementation
strategies for our 1st year law students in Fall of 2004. We think "Booklocker"
could positively impact legal education in the very near future.

The Reality and the Promise of Tablet PCs: Educational
Implications
Audience:
Technical Level:
This session will highlight current and anticipated
tablet PCs features that may have application for students and/or instructors
in educational
settings. The tablet PC is a relatively new technology, first introduced
in 2001, that is slowly having its rough edges worked through successive

will achieve anticipated market acceptance or what form it
will have when widespread use of the technology arrives. This session
will examine: (1) some features of the Tablet PC OS; (2) typical
hardware configurations; (3) some of the new tablet oriented software
applications; and (4) the educational potential for this technology as
it continues to evolve.

Asynchronous Legal Research Courses: Two Case Studies
Audience:
Technical Level:
Ms. Good's presentation will demonstrate the
educational technologies used to teach an Online Immigration Law Research
Seminar taught in the fall of 2003 at Boston College Law School. The course
took place within WebCT and relied on the discussion board, video, readings,
and problem sets to deliver the course content. The presentation will
detail the pedagogical and technological issues raised when creating an
online course. Although the online course covered immigration research
materials, the instructor's approach may be applied to any subject. The
presentation will also cover compliance with the ABA's guidelines on distance
education.
Ms. Buxton's presentation will cover the areas
of the technology and its application, pedagogical issues, and the specific
development, implementation and teaching of the online Advanced Legal
Research unit. The technology utilised is a version of a more generic
educational technology called InterLearn, which has been specifically
tailored for Law (and is called LEX), and the online unit we would discuss
as the
example of its implementation within the Monash Law undergraduate program
is called Skills, Ethics and Research D: Advanced Legal Research.

As an IT professional, how do you treat personal or sensitive
law school information or email? Is it ever "ok" to read someone's
personal email.
Should your law school "police" what programs
are running on a law school computer?
Is it unethical to distribute a computer program that seems
to do one thing, but actually does something else (collects personal data)?
Is hacking or distributing viruses illegal, immoral, or
unethical? How do you punish those who break the rules?
Finally, what are some of the relevant facts that help
