Instructions:

Here are four things you need to do before we meet on Monday, 
January 9th.
1.  Register at PACER for Case Search Only 
(www.pacer.gov/reg_pacer.html).
    You will need to provide a credit card when you register but 
PACER doesn't bill for usage under $10 per quarter and we will be 
under that limit. 
2.  Register at Findlaw.com and then subscribe to a Findlaw 
newsletter of your choice (newsletters.findlaw.com/).
3.  Pick a legal blog to follow. Pick one that you aren't already 
familiar with and might actually be useful to you.  For a selection 
of blawgs, try the ABA Blawg Directory (www.abajournal.com/blawgs/)
or the list compiled by the State Bar of Texas (Google: State Bar 
Texas Law Blogs).
4.  Send me an email (msteiner@stcl.edu) explaining your choices of 
newsletter and blog.
Class will be held in the large computer lab on the third floor of 
the library. We start at 9:00.
