Adventures in CyberLaw
February 3, 2005 | Filed Under General
I am pleased to point to Adventures in CyberLaw, a new weblog that provides a “parking space along the Information Superhighway”. Started by Metro Detroit attorney Gary Kendra, Adventures in CyberLaw will “focus primarily on audiocasts that contain discussions and interviews on emerging legal issues surrounding advances in information technologies and the Internet.”
Gary’s first podcast, “The Anonymous Cybersmear - Part I” is available here. The RSS feed is here.
I have worked on projects with Gary and he has a unique blend of technological savvy and business sense that made it fun to get things done. I recall him speaking about the Internet in the mid 1990’s when I was still utilizing an Etch-A-Sketch as my preferred means of communication.
Give a listen. Gary is now part of the “Original Six” in the law category on iPodder.org (archived for posterity here).
When They Nod Off At Ethics Training

A very sobering view of the white-collar criminal is ably portrayed by Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall here.
Federal sentencing guidelines have made a sequence of inadvisable corporate behavior a 24 year nightmare. Reading excerpts of this case during training (particularly about the defendant’s family that includes small children) may be enough to make even the most blase participants sit up and take notice.
