Editorial
After a very lightweight section on legal KM in our last issue there?s almost too much to mention in this issue.
David Gurteen has just been in Australia and reports on the various meetings and conferences he?s been to.
We see that he noticed immediately the same problem that we did on our last visit to Sydney.. no free wifi in Australia. ?Yet again all this talk of a fast broadband nation seems to be going nowhere. Maybe next year ?
Also in our KM section we reference a range of articles and would especially suggest you take a look at
Article: The Role of KM in Legal Project Management
Article: A Practical Approach to Legal Project Management
Article: Law Firm KM and Revenue
Article: KM and Change-Resistant Lawyers
In the world of legal publishing the latter part of the month has been busier than the first half. Bloomberg have upped their game by hiring some ex management from Lexis. We presume Bloomberg will be seeing the results of these hires by the end of Q.1 2011
Staying with Lexis it seems that bizarre that they don?t notice the irony in a ?survey they?ve conducted which reveals many ?lawyers aren?t ?coping well with information overload

Oxford Law Online
Freelance Legal Editors/Researchers wanted
The Law Department within the Academic Division of Oxford University Press is seeking legal editors/researchers to work on a freelance basis, populating and validating Oxford Law Citator content as part of the enhancement of the Oxford Law Online portfolio.
Oxford Law Online currently presents three live products in international law (Oxford Reports in International Law, Investment Claims, and The Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law) and multiple services are in the pipeline for development. Each service is supported by the Oxford Law Citator.
The Citator is a relational information hub, recording key metadata and relationships for all published and referenced legal content, allowing users to follow a research trail and explore the relevance of references within and between different types of legal content and commentary.
We are offering a small number of freelance editors the opportunity to join our existing home-based team in the ongoing project to populate the Citator. The work involves use of an online application as a tool, to validate links and record key information about each item, in line with a strict style guide. The work requires broad knowledge of legal content, confidence in using technology, and an ordered, meticulous mindset.
Payment is by piece. Full training and style guidance documentation will be provided.
If you are interested in finding out more about the work, please contact Rachel Norman (rachel.norman@oup.com ) with your cv.
