THE WEEKLY LAW SCHOOL ROUNDUP . . . The Weekly Law School Roundup alternates between Legal Underground and divine angst, where Kristine has posted this week's Weekly Law School Roundup #59. The next installment will appear here Sunday, so be sure to check back.

IN THE MAGAZINES . . . Think there's nothing on the Internet but weblogs?  Au contraire! There's also plenty of free magazine articles. Start here--

Show-Offs and Fame Whores  Kids and the Internet. [New York Magazine]

It Started with Pulp Fiction The narrative complexity of modern film. [The New Yorker]

Download This The world's best free software. [PC Magazine] (link from Dennis Kennedy)

AT MY TRIAL PRACTICE WEBSITE . . . "Not the Answer You Want? Take Care in Phrasing the Question."

Those are both books I've bought myself from used-sellers. Today, I'd just read them online--or download a full pdf version to my computer.

WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION? . . . A few months ago, Denise Howell tagged me with the five-things-no -one-knows-about-me meme, which means that I'm obliged to state, here and now, five things that I haven't yet disclosed about myself on this weblog.

Although I'm obliged to list them, you certainly aren't obliged to read. But if you must--
