Hey #lawfedi friends, every day a new person in #law or #legal adjacent fields joints the #fediverse and isn't aware of Lawstodon - the legal community directory for #Mastodon (and eventually the fediverse more broadly).
Feel free to add yourself, claim your profile, etc. I have been using it when I send recommendations for folks looking for practitioners in specific practice areas and it works a treat!
Mornin' #lawfedi folks! This is your semi-regular (but not really) reminder that all of the various federated implementations of ActivityPub and related projects for #law and #legal adjacent professionals can be found in one place.
And, it just happens to look straight out of 2002. Isn't that neat?
Fri 11/17 - Wall Street Firms Build #DEI Practices, Louisville Breonna Taylor Mistrial, Macy*s PAGA to 9th Circuit and CA Bar Passes AI Guidelines
We have Wall Street firms building out diversity, equity and inclusion practices, a mistrial in Louisville civil rights trial against Breonna Taylor shooter, Macy*s brings PAGA back to 9th circuit, and the #CA bar passes guidelines for use and billing of AI.
Any #EU#law historians around? Since when can member states not party to a direct action proceeding before the #CJEU submit observations? The oldest example I could find by a crude text search dates from 1986 [1]. That's 32 years after the first direct action was lodged that included a member state [2]. Were member states simply not allowed to submit observations before?
Wie alt ist das deutsche Bundesrecht? Ein Maßstab dafür kann das Ausfertigungsjahr sein.
Hier sehen wir die Anzahl aller 6736 Bundesgesetze und -verordnungen auf www.gesetze-im-internet.de am Stichtag (3. Oktober 2023), gruppiert nach Ausfertigungsjahr, unabhängig davon ob sie im Internet mit oder ohne Text veröffentlicht wurden (ca. 1000 Rechtsakte sind ohne Text). Berücksichtigt sind nur Stammgesetze, keine Änderungsgesetze.
Interested in studying the European Court of Justice using empirical methods, but not sure how to get started? Look no further! ⚖️📈
I have written an introductory guide to studying the work of the #CJEU using #rstats, guiding you through all the steps from downloading the data to producing figures such as the ones attached (using #ggplot2).
Did you know that the "Corpus of Decisions: International Court of Justice" is also available in a variant specially prepared for international law practitioners and #Jessup competitors?
It contains the PDF files of all ICJ majority opinions with greatly enhanced OCR!
Hi! We're hoping to devote more time to Minimum Competence, and the path forward for that is making it a financial break-even proposition.
To that end, we've enabled paid subscriptions for episodes older than 2 weeks. But take heart! Referring a friend gets you a comped month, and referring more folks gets you more months.
Please don't spam your friends, but, if you know of #law and #legal professionals that might be interested -- this can be win/win!
The 'Corpus of Decisions: International Court of Justice' now contains all 2289 judgments, advisory opinions, orders and other opinions from July 1947 to October 2023.
Realized a lot of people think of Minimum Competence primarily as a newsletter, I think. It is also a #podcast. If you like #legal and #law#news, give it a shot. Episodes are daily (M-F) and usually in the vicinity of 10 minutes.
Hosted by me and @gina. We're proud of it and hope you enjoy it.

"The word 'Document' includes anything consisting of matter or energy in this or any universe including but not limited to: e-mails, checks, gum wrappers, wallhangings...."
"The phrase "identify a document" means provide a radiocarbon date..."
And then the actual questions never used the word document or ask you to identify one, instead using "provide all records."
