		<description><![CDATA[Law blogs, referred to as &#8220;blawgs&#8221; by some, are being cited in court decisions in the U.S. (to the cyber-challenged, the term “blog” is a contraction of the words “web log”). As reflected in a collection of court cases that cite legal blogs, there are 32 citations of legal blogs from 27 different cases in the United States, with 8 legal blogs being cited (as of 6 August 2006). 3L Epiphany notes t\hat: As already mentioned, legal blogging allows for post-citation commentary about the very case that cited the blog. Furthermore, a blog can enable interested readers to discuss the opinion in the comments. At the time of this (3L Epiphany) blog post, the post at the Volokh Conspiracy discussing Harper has 45 comments. The original post, the one cited by the Harper dissent (from the denial of rehearing en banc), now has 258 comments. A court citation to a legal blog thus allows readers of the blog to discuss the decision both on the original (cited) post and in subsequent posts about the case. The citation of internet sources could refer to two matters: factual and legal. Factual matters, which we loosely use to be synonymous with evidentiary matters, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By &#8220;students of law&#8221;, I&#8217;m referring not only to law students, but also to lawyers and non-lawyers who are interested about the law. From time to time, we point to blogs of &#8220;students of law&#8221;. The last time we did that was middle of 2007, when we pointed to the blogs of Macka, Tetch Torres (Life’s Chorva) and Professional Journey. There’s the magnificent Atty. Perez and the barcrammer (Rax). We&#8217;ve also added the link of Joselito Basilio (Dissenting Opinion). Of course, there&#8217;s The Warrior Lawyer. Let&#8217;s add some more. Libertas et Justicia. According to the site, it is &#8220;a movement of law students and practitioners founded at the Faculty of Civil Law of the University of Santo Tomas and currently expanding its membership in other lawschools in the Manila locale, namely: Far Eastern University, Manuel L. Quezon University, University of the East, Arellano University, and San Sebastian College. It has in its foremost pursuit, the progressive mobilization among the ranks of students, as well as practitioners of law, for the enlightenment of what really the praxis of law is all about, that is the substantial regard for the rights of the marginalized sectors of the society, the constant struggle to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent comment caught my attention because it was written in ALL CAPS (or everything was in capital letters). This, in internet language, is equivalent to shouting and unless this is made in the proper context, it&#8217;s definitely rude and offensive. This is just an illustration of internet etiquette that we should be mindful of. So, for the benefit of everyone who may care about blog etiquette, let&#8217;s compile the &#8220;rules&#8221;. For this purpose, this post will be constantly updated within the week. Do drop us a line if you have an idea or two, or if you have any great reference on this subject matter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many blawggers have cleared the path even before I stumbled on blogging almost two years ago. Lately, I&#8217;ve discovered a number of blawgs, and I use this term loosely to refer to blogs that are written by lawyers or students of law. There&#8217;s Life&#8217;s Chorva, written by Ms. Tetch Torres of Inquirer.net. There&#8217;s Macka, fresh from the first Sunday of the 2007 bar exams, whose writing skill I admire. There&#8217;s the magnificent Atty. Perez, whose latest post entry is about the reason why he wants to be waken up when September ends; in 2005, that is. There&#8217;s Rax, the barcrammer at the Bar Exams Forum, who has another take on Greenday&#8217;s &#8220;Wake me Up When September Ends.&#8221; There&#8217;s the Islander in the City, who says he can&#8217;t &#8220;understand what drives otherwise sane persons to join fraternities and subject themselves to torture; or the prospects of death.&#8221; This statement is made in light of the death of another U.P. student, Cris Mendez. In fact, a Senator has called for the abolition of fraternities and sororities. With all due respect, however, this call is like throwing the baby out with the bath water. It&#8217;s like calling for the abolition of the government [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, if you do a search at the Supreme Court website for cases or jurisprudence, all you get are decisions or resolutions Supreme Court. You can click, read and quote right away, which is good if you don&#8217;t have the luxury of time. The only thing you&#8217;ll have to watch out is this &#8211; separate opinions (concurring or dissenting) of justices are sometimes presented in a separate page, just like the main decision (without the case title, of course). Those days are gone. Now, you have to be very careful because decisions of the Court of Appeals, the Sandiganbayan and the Court of Tax Appeals are also included when you google-search the SC site. You can easily distinguish the CA decisions/resolutions, though, by their format. CA decisions are presented in PDF format, with the option to view it through html. Of course, you could always see the link at the bottom and see that there&#8217;s a &#8220;ca&#8221; at the first part of the link. It looks like this (the SC decision is the bottom one, while the CA decision is on top): Sandiganbayan and CTA seacrh results, on the other hand, are presented pretty much like those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re planning to register a corporation and you&#8217;re looking for the SEC website to search for information. If you google-search for &#8220;SEC&#8220;, you&#8217;ll discover that Google has added a tag which reads: &#8220;This site may harm your computer.&#8221; The actual search result looks like this: Clicking the warning (&#8220;This site may harm your computer&#8220;) will bring you to this explanation (in part): We want our users to feel safe when they search the web, and we&#8217;re continuously working to identify dangerous sites and increase protection for our users. This warning message appears with search results that we&#8217;ve identified as sites that may install malicious software on your computer: Maybe the warning is caused by the pop-up that loads every time you enter the SEC website. Or maybe it&#8217;s something else. Maybe our tech friends can tell us why. Update (19 July 2007): The warning had been removed if you search again for&#8221;SEC&#8221;. That&#8217;s quick.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There were quite a few examinees of the 2006 bar examination that have blogs. Some of them found their way here, together with other reviewees who shared their opinions, emotions, apprehensions and hopes. Many shared helpful information. Others expressed their appreciation, for which I&#8217;m thankful. I&#8217;m pleasantly surprised that some examinees-bloggers, who are preparing for the 2007 bar exams, have also found this site. Let&#8217;s welcome them, starting with: Macka If you&#8217;re aware of other examinees who have blogs, please let me know so that we may include them here. May all of you find comfort knowing that you&#8217;re not alone in the &#8220;torture&#8221; you&#8217;re going through. =) On the other hand, maybe we should also mention those who are &#8220;on deck&#8221; or those who are still in law school, starting with: Tetch Torres (Life&#8217;s Chorva) Professional Journey Good luck and God bless, everyone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When this blog started, we talked about the choices in blogging platforms. Our choice, WordPress, got the most most number of votes in the Publishing category of the Webware 100 for 2007. In his analysis, Rafe Needleman said: &#8220;Publishing had no mass consumer brands in the top 10, as most of the other categories did. WordPress got the most votes. I was interested to see the Drupal CMS platform placing high in this category&#8211;above the consumer-oriented publishing products Typepad and Vox. Even combined, these two Six Apart services didn&#8217;t come close to winning the same number of votes as Drupal.&#8221; On the other hand, you probably know, by now, the winners of the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards. Though this is a bit late, I have to say congratulations to all the winners, including, of course, DJB (Best Socio-Political Blog), Ivan (Best Travel Blog) and PCIJ (Best News &#38; Media Blog).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent incoming link from Abe&#8217;s site alerted me to his post on surviving a libel suit. Considering that these cases had been resolved and there&#8217;s no appeal/reconsideration (at least none that I know of), let&#8217;s have a discussion for purely reportorial and academic reasons. The brief introduction on this series is Part I. There were actually two complaints for libel &#8211; one for each of the two main respondents &#8211; before the Pasig City Prosecutor’s Office. The complaints are based on Article 353 of the Revised Penal Code, which defines libel as a public and malicious imputation of a crime, or of a vice or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status, or circumstance tending to cause the dishonor, discredit, or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead. The basic facts of the libel cases are discussed in Part II. The main respondent claimed that the complaint is merely a part of a sinister design to harass former employees who are trying to make their living away from the said company. Only members have exclusive access to greedyolddumbass.com, and every member is open and free to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The flurry of events in the Philipine blogging scene could very well reflect the steady growth of blogging, not only in the local scene, but also worldwide. There&#8217;s iBlog3, or the 3rd Philippine Blogging Summit, which is scheduled on April 13-14, 2007 at the U.P. College of Economics auditorium. There are various interesting topics, including humor, ethics, legal matters and, of course, the perks and quirks of problogging. Plus, you get to see the faces (well, the bodies and attitudes) behind the blogs, which could potentially affect your image of a particular blog. I can say that iBlog2 was successful, as I was there, and I can safely say the same thing for iblog3. So, bottomline, take time to attend the summit. There&#8217;s also the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards on March 31, 2007 at the RCBC Plaza Auditorium, Makati City. Oh, by the way, the period for nomination had already lapsed. Of course, there are other interesting &#8220;developments&#8221;, but let&#8217;s save that for later. In the meantime, blog on!]]></description>
