If you think the news is all about Presidential (so to speak) elections and economic meltdowns – think again!

A pooch to protect: Rin Tin Tin’s latest film doesn’t sit well with Daphne Hereford, and if she has her way, the star’s next drama could be in court, by MARY FLOOD, Copyright, 2008 Houston Chronicle, Oct. 6, 2008, 11:26PM, excerpt:

A entry from the Oct. 5th, ILRW, contained this tidbit, which is a good follow-up to my post on Let’s (Not) Kill All the Law Libraries (and my own follow-up), arguing that if “the law” really was “all online,” then why would we need lawyers?

Verbatim from Tom Mighell’s Internet Legal Research Weekly, Oct 5th, 2008:
