We have two law journals here at UK Law. The Kentucky Law Journal and the Kentucky Journal of Equine, Agriculture and Natural Resources Law (KJEANRL). The name of the second is admittedly a mouthful and a very recent change, made in part to broaden the types of articles published. Now that a new name ...
This Friday (Sept. 18) I’ll be doing a FREE webinar for CALI on free alternatives to Westlaw’s TWEN and Lexis’ Blackboard. It starts at 3pm EDT and should last about a half hour. (Registration Form) Also, long term readers may remember, I wrote a blog post about this last year. I’ll be covering some of ...
I’ve been out of commisssion this week with the flu, so I missed really getting into the grand unveiling of my newest endeavor, Henderson Valley Eggs. What is HVE? It’s sort of an online magazine, it’s sort of a blog…the term we’re going with is “Information Collective.” HVE is written and co-edited by 6 “spring ...
I’m starting to wonder how many times I can say to myself “…so that happened.” in a week. I’ve just survived my first week of the fall semester. And if you’re one of my students reading this, let me assure you that the first week back transition is just as hard on law school faculty and ...

I began handling the Interlibrary Loan responsibilities for the Law School community in addition to my reference duties. Now, I had never really done ILLs before, but fortunately the learning curve isn’t too ...
Having spent pretty much my entire life within spitting distance of the Ohio River, I’ve become accustomed to floods as a regular part of life. However, with river floods, you generally get some warning. Weathermen can track the flood’s arrival and give a pretty good guestimate at what the levels are going to be. As ...
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around AALL 2009 and figure out what I want to say and how I want to say it. It’s appearing that it’s not going to happen, at least not before I forget something important. There are some things I really need to cover and explain, but there’s a ...
