Bedsworth Survives His Previous Month’s Tunnel Visions
Welcome Justice Bedsworth to September, at his monthly Orange County Lawyer column, A Criminal Waste of Space, where the Associate Justice of the California Court of Appeal reminds us that not all of us (not most of us!) are cut out to be sportswriters.
(Previous Justice Bedsworth columns are usually archived here, thanks to MIPTC, but they are having, we hope temporary, hacker problems (see their 8/25/08 post) so check back later.)

“Damn Interesting” Website for Labor Day Holiday
If you haven’t visited Damn Interesting, or the list where I found it, PC Magazine’s The Top 100 Undiscovered Web Sites, (thanks to Tom Mighuel at Inter Alia for the lead), then the Labor Day holiday weekend is a good time to visit (unless you’re in a lounge chair with a good book, in which case, don’t move!). The fun will end, however, on Tuesday, September 2nd, even though summer isn’t officially over until September 22nd. Sigh.
Happy Labor Day! – and remember what it’s all about.

“Sometimes a Great Lawsuit”: Ken Kesey, Law Libraries, and Legal Forms
This week’s Willamette Week’s story on Ken Kesey and The Screenplay (Sometimes a Great Lawsuit) is terrific – and a dream for [at least] this public law librarian who is always looking for stories that warn people about the perils of how Too Much Legal Self-Help is Not a Great Idea, especially when it comes time to drafting “agreements.”
Mr. Kesey could have dropped by his Lane County Law Library for some, uh, sample forms. Although, at that time he’d more likely have bumped into a zillion Eugene, Oregon lawyers who would been more than happy to help him draft the darn contract.
Keep in mind too, that the Lane County Law Library has been around for over 60 years!

Naughty, Naughty: Lawyers and Public Officials: Disciplinary Records
Words are tricky, and powerful, things. I bet what you imagine when you read the words naughty, naughty (oooooh or sorry, mom) is completely different from the thoughts that surface when you hear disciplinary records (yawn). Oh, the power of words.
On to yawn, uh, disciplinary records:
