Day on Torts is a very promising new legal blog on, well, Torts law. By… Day. John Day, that is, founding member of the Tennessee firm Branham & Day.
Day on Torts has a nice mix of the practical and the analytical. A quick look finds two posts that any law student or new attorney interested in practicing torts law may find useful: Trial Ready Checklist, providing Day’s own 60-day-out list of matters for consideration in the course of trial preparation, and Taking Photographs, linking to the article “Ten Tips for Photographing Vehicles for Litigation.”

Electronic Discovery Law is “a blog on legal issues, news and best practices relating to the discovery of electronically stored information.” Published by the Document Analysis Technology Group (friends get to call it DATG) of Preston Gates & Ellis LLP, Electronic Discovery Law has been posting since October, 2004 at a steady rate on the following subtopics:
Electronic Discovery Law also provides an E-Discovery Case Database, “containing nearly 300 electronic discovery cases collected from state and federal jurisdictions around the United States.” Search by keyword or by one or more of the 19 different “case attributes” (backup tapes, motion for protective order, format of production, etc.).

Secretary of State Tips, courtesy of LeapLaw, provides a one-stop source for a wide variety of “state-specific information and requirements for corporate and UCC services that legal professionals commonly need to know.”
It is sponsored by sponsors (stay with us) who provide corporate/UCC services – just the type of services someone using this site might be interested in.
Secretary of State Tips nevertheless provides a very useful collection of state-level SOS info in an innovative format, and we’re not saying that just because we see the good people at LeapLaw have thoughtfully included BoleyBlogs! in their General/Research blogroll.

Podcasting is the latest next best thing to hit the internet. BlawgCast.com is jumping into the fray and providing a one-stop source for information on law-related podcasting (blog+law=blawg…) and, better yet, a single feed of the various legal podcasts that are already out there (or soon to come from a law-related blog near you).
What, say you, is “podcasting”? The many editors of BoleyBlogs! point to this bit of analogizing from BlawCast.org, “Podcasting is TIVO for your iPod.” For those without TIVO (such as the many editors of BoleyBlogs!) Podcasts are basically just mp3 audio (various video casts are starting to show up as well) files available online. So why the TIVO reference?
Much like text blogs are available via rss feeds for pulling into feedreaders (more info here), podcasts work the same way. Except now, instead of reading the post on the computer, “you can listen to the content on an iPod or iPod-like device” (from explanation at iPodder.org).
Find out much more about podcasting from the Wikipedia.
