Incorrigible Dicta – Now more Dicta! More Incorrigible!

(Or should that be less incorrigible? How can one be more of less of something…)

We’ve opened up commenting more now that we have some nifty new (and strong) spam filters. So no more hassle with having to register in order to comment!

Let thy words flow, gentle readers!

Minor Hiccup

0

There was a minor hiccup earlier in the day if anyone tried reaching the site. Looks like everything is settled down now, but I have no idea what caused it, so I’ll be poking around the backend a little over the course of the week to make sure we’re stable.

Consider commenting, too!

0

Co-editor Alex just told me that we had 2,700 pageviews in January from 370 unique visitors.  I’m astounded.  Thanks for reading, folks!

But part of *why* I’m astounded is that with the dearth of comments, I didn’t think anybody was reading!  But seriously, consider commenting too–I imagine most of y’all are lawyers (am I wrong?  tell me!), and I imagine you probably have opinions about what we post here.  Share, please share!

And for those who are CPCS attorneys, remember that you are always welcome to contribute.  If you have something to say but don’t know how to put it up–ask us, we’ll talk you through it.  It’s easy, once you get started.  Don’t know what to contribute?  Here are some ideas:

  • War stories that can be sanitized beyond recognition (any posts referring to a CPCS client will be strictly scrutinized for even the slightest whiff of confientiality problems before going public)
  • Funny/interesting things that happen in court, but don’t involve your clients
  • Law-related news–we don’t need to duplicate what everybody is reporting, but we do view Dicta as a place to highlight under-reported legal news and clarify what the mass media are reporting incorrectly (think that New York Times story completely misread the new Supreme Court opinion?  Tell us!  Tell the world!)
  • Practice tips–things you see attorneys do too often that make you think “u r doing it rong!”
  • Anything else related to being a public defender or the law more broadly–just try to assume your reader is a non-lawyer, so we can keep the blog accessible to everybody.
