I'm resending this message -- I think it was lost in the shuffle.
Apologies for any duplication.

Subject: ABA Journal and electronic developments

Thought I'd share two articles in this month's ABA Journal. (I often end
up crossing my name off the routing slip myself -- it's easy to miss things.)

1. Daniel B. Kennedy, PC Practitioners Proliferate: Experts warn it may
be criminal to dispense legal advice via bulletin boards, ABA J., June
1993, at 36 (Prodigy)

2. Jim Meyer, The Paperless Chase: Law schools increasingly use computers
as a learning tool, ABA J., June 1993, at 94 (law school classes at
Chicago-Kent and UCLA). This article includes one sentence that cries out
for correction: "They do research through the Lexis/Nexis service (which,
like Westlaw, provides free online access to all of the nation's law
students)." Does anyone out there want to write a letter to the editor
explaining that "free" isn't FREE?
