explains the difference between PACER and RECAP:
PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) is a service of the United States Judiciary that's run by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. PACER allows users to obtain case and docket information from Federal Appellate, District and Bankruptcy cour...ts, and the U.S. Party/Case Index via the Internet.
PACER is available to the public but requires registration and payment for each page dowloaded. PACER is mainly used by practicing attorneys and is often praised for providing quick access to thousands of documents; and criticized for being difficult and costly to search.
To remedy these issues, the Center for Information Technology at Princeton University developed RECAP. RECAP is an extension (or “add on”) for the Firefox web browser that "improves the PACER experience" while helping PACER users build a free and open repository of public court records. RECAP users automatically donate the documents they purchase from PACER into a public repository hosted by the Internet Archive.
RECAP saves users money by alerting them when a document they are searching for is already available from this repository. Although, RECAP sounds great, users should be aware that the RECAP archive cannot be browsed directly. Therefore, you must still use PACER to conduct searches. RECAP is set up this way because of ongoing privacy concerns related to the documents on PACER.
For more information on PACER go to: http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/
For more information on RECAP go to: https://www.recapthelaw.org/
pacer.psc.uscourts.gov
The PACER service provides on-line access to U.S. Appellate, District, and Bankruptcy court records and documents nationwide. The PACER Service Center is the Federal Judiciary's centralized registration, billing, and technical support center for PACER.

wonders how many patrons will use Google Scholar to conduct their legal research?
As of yesterday, Google Scholar now provides access to federal and state case law; as well as law review and journal articles. Google Scholar offers a user-friendly option when you're simply trying to pull a case or article by citation ...or topic.
Will Google Scholar replace Westlaw and Lexis? Probably not since Google users cannot conduct "terms and connectors" searchs, limit their search results or access state case law prior to the 1950s. However, stay tuned to the Google Blog at http://googleblog.blogspot.com because there's no telling what Google will conquer next.

highlights "blawgs." Many students relay their thoughts about law school in blogs, commonly known as “blawgs.” Blawgs often contain postings on every imaginable topic, from a first-year contracts course to the latest legal scandal. Reading a blawg can be both informative and therapeutic for first-year law students b...y allowing them to share in others’ law school experiences. In addition to helping students cope, most blawgs allow readers to respond to a post, which affords law students the opportunity to engage with other students, faculty and practitioners. Blawgs also provide valuable advice for law students on topics such as relieving stress, saving money on textbooks, choosing a career path, surviving final exams, and more. Some students begin writing their own blawgs to improve their writing skills or to learn more about a legal topic. There are numerous blawgs written by law students, law professors, and lawyers. To find a blawg that interests you, go to: http://blawgsearch.justia.com/ to conduct a blawg search or consult http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/law+stu

plans to "play like the 10th Justice" with FantasySCOTUS.net. This Fantasy League allows you to compete against your friends, colleagues, and adversaries to determine who has the greatest ability to predict the outcome of Supreme Court cases. At the end of the Term, you will be ranked against your fellow "Associate J...ustices," and the winner will receive the venerable title of the Chief Justice of Fantasy SCOTUS.
The rules are simple: for each case the Supreme Court grants certiorari, predict the outcome of the case (i.e.: affirm or reverse); the split (i.e.: 9-0, 8-1, 7-2, 6-3, 5-4, 4-1-4); and the justices in the majority and/or dissent.

invites you to a special reading of The Life and Times of Richard J. Hughes: The Politics of Civility by John B. Wefing
The Life and Times of Richard J. Hughes explores the influential public service of this two-term New Jersey governor. He was the only person in New Jersey history to serve as both governor and chief ju...stice of the New Jersey Supreme Court.
This biography illuminates the governor’s accomplishments between 1962 and 1970, including the creation of the Hackensack Meadowlands Commission, formation of the county college system, establishment of stringent antipollution laws, design of the public defender system, and the adoption of a New Jersey sales tax, as well as his pivotal role during the Newark riots. As chief justice, Hughes faced difficult issues—school funding, low and moderate income housing needs, freedom of speech, and his decision in the rightto- die case involving Karen Ann Quinlan. With a career characterized by liberal activism, Hughes also contributed nationally and internationally, from serving as host of the 1964 Democratic National Convention to monitoring elections in South Vietnam.
John B. Wefing’s research includes interviews with prominent politicians and leaders who worked with Hughes at various points in his career. The result is a rich story of a public servant who possessed a true ability to work with members of both political parties and played a significant role in shaping modern New Jersey.
John B. Wefing is a Professor of law at Seton Hall University School of Law and has specialized in New Jersey constitutional law.

Peter W. Rodino, Jr. Law Library wonders if any patrons will use Federal Register 2.0, a new service that provides the text of the Federal Register in XML format. The Federal Register is a daily publication, which is compiled by the Office of the Federal Register. Before any administrative regulation can become legally effective, it must be publishe...d in the Federal Register. The Register features presidential documents; regulatory documents; proposed rules and regulations; final rules and regulations; and notices of proceedings. XML is a simple and flexible, machine-readable form of text that is easy to manipulate with software. By putting the text in XML, the government allows users to have control over how they want to read Federal Register. For example, users may now include all or a portion of a particular Federal Register in their blog, website or RSS feed-reader. With XML, a user may organize the Register’s contents according to personal interests or limit the text to issues that are likely to affect a particular profession. Federal Register 2.0 may be accessed at: www.gpoaccess.gov
www.gpoaccess.gov
GPO Access provides free public access to full-text, official Federal information; Federal information finding aids; and Federal products for sale.

Peter W. Rodino, Jr. Law Library is impressed with the Supreme Court Database that was released this week! This electronic database, which was originally created by Professor Harold Spaeth from Washington University in St. Louis, provides a dataset that includes and classifies every single vote by a Supreme Court justice in all argued cases from 1953... to 2008. The Database houses 247 pieces of information for each case, roughly broken down into six categories: (1) identification variables (e.g., citations and docket numbers); (2) background variables (e.g., how the Court took jurisdiction, origin and source of the case, the reason the Court agreed to decide it); (3) chronological variables (e.g., the date of decision, term of Court, natural court); (4) substantive variables (e.g., legal provisions, issues, direction of decision); (5) outcome variables (e.g., disposition of the case, winning party, formal alteration of precedent, declaration of unconstitutionality); and (6) voting and opinion variables (e.g., how the individual justices voted, their opinions and interagreements). Numerous scholars are using this database to support their research and writing, to access it yourself, go to: http://supremecourtdatabase.org
