More shots were fired today in the litigation battle over whether legal research startup ROSS Intelligence stole copyrighted content from Thomson Reuters’ Westlaw in order to jumpstart development of its own product. Thomson Reuters filed a brief in response to ROSS’s motion to dismiss its lawsuit, asserting that under the “notice pleading” standard of the federal courts, its complaint — alleging copyright violations and tortious interference with contractual relations — is properly pleaded. “To state a copyright claim, Plaintiffs need allege only ‘(1) ownership of a valid copyright, and (2) copying of constituent elements of the work that are original,’”…

When I invited Robert Taylor, vice president and senior corporate counsel for legal ideation and transformation at Liberty Mutual Insurance, to be my guest earlier this week on Litera.TV, I knew him to be a widely recognized innovator in legal department operations, as was recognized last year when the Association of Corporate Counsel recognized his group with its Legal Operations Team of the Year award. What I did not know was that Taylor was marking his 25th year at Liberty Mutual, and in observance of that had created a presentation in which he shares the lessons he learned…

We talk a lot about access to legal information in law libraries. Yesterday’s decision in the PACER fees case is a good example (PDF). Recently, I’ve been working on the other type of accessibility: how accessed information is made useable. Law libraries may be subject to statutory obligations like §508 in the US or a regional obligation like the one that I’m trying to meet. This isn’t a post about the tools. Instead, I’ve been trying to navigate the library’s role as content access point, but not necessarily as creator. I said this post isn’t about the tools. But…
