As part of a workshop I ran with Deb Quentel at Subtech2006 in Oslo, Norway, I had participants interview each other on the topic of "Lessons Learned using ICT in Legal Education". This admittedly broad subject lent itself to telling stories that could cover a wide swath of subjects and the podcasts I will be posted indicate this. These "interviews" were unscripted and off-the-cuff and the room was rather noisy with half-a-dozen interviews going on at the same time. First lesson about podcasting to learn - find a quiet space. I could not post some of the recordings do to the ambient noise making the subjects voices almost unintelligible.

This is first of several podcasts and is the interview between Professor Paul Maharg of the University of Strathclyde (Paul blogs here) and Professor Peter Martin of Cornell Law School. Peter is a co-founder of the Legal Information Institute at Cornell.

This discussion between Martin and Maharg is 12 minutes long.
