By CARL KAPLAN
Every year about this time I like to reveal secrets of the cyberlaw guild by writing about some of the free legal Web sites that help or inspire me the most.
A snip If you relish courtroom humor, as I do, you'll enjoy a visit to the Web site of Lloyd Duhaime, a Canadian barrister, solicitor, historian and hockey fan based in Victoria, British Columbia. Duhaime's site contains many entertaining legal alleyways, including one devoted to tasteful lawyer jokes and another, called the "Hall of Horrors," that examines the law's lamentable record of punishment through the ages. The best reading corner is his collection of the "Dumbest Things Ever Said in Court." Spoken by real-life lawyers and witnesses and taken from official court records, all of the interrogations beg to be printed. But I'll just give you two of them, as a lagniappe. Q. What happened then? A. He told me, he says, "I'll have to kill you because you can identify me." Q. Did he kill you? And: Q. All your responses must be oral, ok? What school did you go to? A. Oral. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/25/technology/25CYBERLAW.html For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/
