Another Great Podcast for Listeners

Rita K. — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:44:42 +0000

Yesterday I mentioned the legal related podcasts that I like. I was told that I might have missed one, Nolo Presents the Law in Plain English. Actually, we have included a link to these podcasts in our Self-Help Resource Links for a long time. I simply forgot to include this podcast. I have to admit I do not regularly listen to the podcasts as I have not added them to my iTunes list, so I have to remember to visit the site. But if you want to know about everything from surviving foreclosure to screening tenants, this podcast is very helpful. I won’t forget to mention it next time.

Favorite Podcasts

Rita K. — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:28:14 +0000

We publish our own podcasts as KCLL’s SideBar and I often get asked what legal related podcasts I listen to myself. Many of the podcasts I listen to are not legal, but there are some good legal ones that I like.

Of course, one that is great is the Legal Talk Network’s Lawyer 2 Lawyer, with Bob Ambrogi and J. Craig Williams. I try to keep up with them, as they are always topical and interesting. Some of the other podcasts on the Legal Talk Network are also worth listening to, such as, The Kennedy-Mighell Report and their brand new The Paralegal Voice.

I listen to the Supreme Court of Washington’s Blog podcast, as it is always pertinent to our state. The ABA has a Litigation Podcast that contains many good tips for practicing attorneys. The Sacramento County Public Law Library is doing a podcast called Everyday Law, which focuses on California, but could be helpful to Washington users, too.

So if you have not checked these podcasts out, you might want to try them. Of course, do not forget to listen to our podcast, KCLL’s SideBar, where not only do you get interesting interviews or information about legal subjects, but we entertain you with movie reviews, skits and more.

Episode 30: Public Records – Let’s See What We Can Find

Rita K. — Fri, 29 May 2009 17:50:28 +0000

In this episode of KCLL’s SideBar we look at what kinds of public records are available in Washington State and how to find those records. Then we have a shorter “At the Reference Desk”, from the Seattle University Law School librarians. In this segment Bob talks about Canadian law, eh? Craig, in his “Reel Verdict” segment, reviews the new Star Trek movie, not because the movie has anything to do with the law, but for the reason that I wanted his perspective on the movie after I saw it myself.

Episode 29: Copyright Law

Rita K. — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:31:35 +0000

This episode of KCLL’s SideBar was to include an interview with a local attorney about his music, including a bit about copyright laws. That portion of the podcast may be published later. Included in this shortened version of KCLL’s SideBar is “At the Reference Desk”, from the Seattle University Law School librarians. In this segment they discuss copyright law as it applies to music and to other works. Craig, in his “Reel Verdict” segment, discusses a musical copyright case along with a review of the movie, “Almost Famous.” His take on movie supporting cast members is particularly telling.
