Oregon Governor-Elect Kitzaber Job Opportunities: Send in Your Resume
Governor-Elect Kitzaber’s Transition Team’s website offers one and all a chance to submit a resume.
This free-form job application process seems a creative, though possibly ill-advised, approach given numerous factors that I most certainly hope can go without saying, but far be it from me to miss a chance to tell you to send you in your resume. Oregonians will always be dreamers, bless our hearts. (And they sure need a good blogger, so knock yourselves out.)
I’m more familiar with the “Plum Book” method of hiring for a new administration.

Wanted in Oregon: One donated Android phone for a good cause
When one of our favorite law students (who contributes so much blood, sweat, and tears to the Oregon law librarian and legal research world, with smarts, good humor, and style) on his blog asks a favor from the world, the Oregon Legal Research blogger likes to do her bit to pass along the request:
Wanted: One donated Android phone for a good cause
Robb Shector has been a Partner in Oregon Legal Research with many of us since he was a first year law student (now he is a 3rd year) and before someone snaps him up and makes him a Lawyer, we want to do everything possible to make him want to stay in, or eventually return to if he leaves, the great State of Oregon.

State and County Law Libraries and Legal Information to the People
Some (most!) of my favorite sources of law library legal research services and self-help ideas come from other state and county law libraries and law librarian bloggers (these law librarian bloggers, too) of course.
Here are some of my favorite state and county law library websites:
My top-rated favorite, People’s Law Library, is from the great State of Maryland Law Library.

Oregon County Law: Duty to Fix Potholes?
This Oregonian article was an interesting lesson in neighbor and government law. It also teaches one not to jump to conclusions, on international affairs, government budgets, or that pothole you have to climb in and out of on your way to and from home every day.
“Rock Creek Road may be the pits, but Washington County says it has no legal duty to fill the potholes,” by Dana Tims, Wednesday, November 24, 2010
Excerpt: “… “I was angry,” said Matos. “A lot of people up here have had blown tires. Emergency vehicles can hardly get through. It’s a joke.”

Copyright Law and Mark Twain’s Autobiography
For an interesting view of how complex copyright law has become, see the following, keeping in mind that Mark Twain’s Autobiography has this back-story, from the Mark Twain Papers and Project:
“…At the time of his death in 1910, Mark Twain left his last major literary work—an autobiography—unpublished and stipulated that the entire unexpurgated work should not be issued for at least a hundred years after his death. In November 2010, the year that marks the centenary of Twain’s death, UC Press has issued the first volume of a complete three-volume critical edition of the autobiography, edited by the staff of the Mark Twain Project. A digital edition with a complete textual apparatus—not included in the print version—is available at the Mark Twain Project Online….” (Link to full website.)
