Washburn University School of Law and The Columbus School of Law of
the Catholic University of America would like to introduce a new listserv:
LEGALETHICS-L
Listservs are electronic mail based "discussion groups",
conducted using Internet e-mail, where members can freely
exchange ideas across great distances. There are many
listservs on Internet.
An e-mail user joins a listserv by executing a command from
within his or her own email system, and then sending a
special message to a listserv address. Once a user has
joined a list, he or she may send a message to the entire
group.
What is on legalethics-1?
This listserv is to be a forum for discussion and exchange of
information of issues that relate to teaching, scholarship, and
related professional activities. Participants include teachers of
courses in Professional Responsibility and other interested persons.
Participants might:
--post notices about meetings or publications of interest to teachers of
Professional Responsibility;
--raise questions or make comments about pedagogical or curricular issues
including planning a syllabus, topic selection, teaching methods,
classroom dynamics, examinations and grading, and course evaluations;
--request advice or information relating to scholarship in progress, or
pass on ideas from the writer's list of "articles that someone else
should write";
--raise questions or make comments about recent developments in the legal
profession, and share information about law reform efforts,
consulting opportunities, and participation on bar committees;
--consult other members of the group about ethical issues.
Three individuals watch over the listserv and are called
List-owners. They are:
Lisa Lerman (Catholic)
lerman@law.cua.edu
Sheila Reynolds (Washburn)
zzreyn@acc.wuacc.edu
Mark Folmsbee (Washburn)
zzfolm@acc.wuacc.edu
(913) 231-1010 ext 1041
fax (913) 232-8087
To join the list and receive email from the group, send an email message to
listserv@ftplaw.wuacc.edu with the body of the message saying:
subscribe legalethics-l your firstname lastname
[EXAMPLE: subscribe legalethics-l lisa lerman]
By sending this message, the computer automatically adds you to the listserv.
You should receive a confirmation message at your email address within about
five minutes of your subscription. You will also receive a message
describing a password. For the moment, simply ignore that message
(it is used in advanced listserv functions).
You will begin receiving messages as soon as others join the listserv.
To send a message to the list that you want everyone to see, send the message
to legalethics-l@ftplaw.wuacc.edu. The computer will forward the
message to everyone who has joined.
TO UNSUBSCRIBE, send a message to listserv@ftplaw.wuacc.edu with the body
containing the command:
unsubscribe legalethics-l
HINTS:
For technical information concerning the listserv, send a command to
listserv@ftplaw.wuacc.edu with the body containing the word: help
You will be directed to a topic list of commands.
Specific commands sent to the listserv (example: help) will generate response
messages from the listserv system. Selected commands follow.
