Attorneys using the federal judiciary’s Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) are being reminded to appropriately redact sensitive/private/confidential information/data such as Social Security or taxpayer-identification numbers (TINs), dates of birth, names of minor children and financial account numbers.
See the item “Reminder to Redact” posted in The Third Branch: Newsletter of the Federal Courts.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released its improved Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) 2.0 today, which can be used — importantly — for searching/look-up of comments as well as their filing.
See the Managing Miracles: Policy for the Network Society blog entry discussing the new release and its significance.

Washburn University School of LawAbstract:
“This Article-in-Progress is the first to offer legal educators a comprehensive approach to the transfer of learning across the entire curriculum. It is also the first to propose that law schools employ schema theory to help students encode knowledge and skills for future transfer, as well as to conceptually integrate their courses. In the sample schema provided, students can use four categories of specific core lawyering skills as “constants” for navigating their coursework and employment. Finally, the author details a four-step “core skills approach” for aiding transfer, including the core skills schema; charts that show how various skill sets apply across the curriculum; a universal metacognitive reflection exercise; and additional sample exercises tailored to cue previous knowledge across conceptual bridges, such as the one that spans the distance from legal writing courses into clinic.”
