Mashups and the court of public opinion
This case is as much about inspiring innovation and creativity from digital natives.

From Professor Nesson’s blog:
This is evidence that law school may teach you what process is, but not how it is used. Or if it is used.
This is evidence of the flexibility of judges. Evidence of the flexibility of rules.
I have embraced Vinny. I imagined a conversation between you, your students, Judge Gertner, and Mona Lisa Vito. It was, in Judge Gertner’s words, a “moment of informality.” Is Lisa describing a deer being shot in the woods? Or is she lecturing about this procedure? The request to record this moment stems from your mission. It is what this case is about. It may not be something we can learn in law school.
Evidence is what you make of it. Context can change its impact. Maybe context can change its truth.




First off, I hope you don’t mind me mentioning you in my dissertation, you are a very helpful turn of events in my subject.
I have been reading as much as my boggled mind can but I still havn’t found out if you won or what result or situation you are at now. Did the hearing happen on march 30th? or is it postponed further still? Also I have read somewhere that you are broadcasting the hearing - Where can I see this? I really want to see you guys in action (the result would prove very interesting too) and I wish you all the very best!
Yours
