… which is part of the lack of posts. I’ve been busy. I’ll post slightly more often, now that my job hunt is winding down.Law school is more complicated this year, with lots of non-class obligations. Law Review office hours are not as bad as I had expected, but getting my Note started has been harder.

I’m writing this post on my new laptop, a convertible tablet PC. I killed my older Sony Vaio, but I’m really pleased with using a tablet. I’ll write (or dictate!) more about not using a keyboard later.

Professor Volokh has publicized Lawtopic.com and asked people to blog about it and spread info around the law student community. It’s a pretty interesting idea. Professors and other legal scholars contribute ideas for legal essays that might be appropriate for students. In theory, people will post interesting and novel topics.

It’s a place I think I’ll be looking at more as I try to come up with a topic for the NYU Law A paper.

Has anyone used or tried Outliner?

Outliner 4.0 allows law students to custom organize all of their law school information, have it at their fingertips, and generate every type of report and outline with the click of a button that the student could ever use in law school.

Sounds like it’s promising the stars, but the idea of a smart notetaking framework that could help me generate outlines at the end of the course is kind of appealing.

Actually, has anyone tried taking serious notes in something more than a word processor? I know there have been some personal semantic wiki’s floating around. I just wonder if I could keep the markup and organization straight on the fly with a semantic wiki package.
