Web Resources of the Week
Two entries this time. Both are current awareness and content discovery 
resources made available (free) by two U.S. law schools. I've asked the people 
in charge of each site to provide the overview info. The annotation for the 
first entry was written by Professor Bernard Hibbits, University of Pittsburgh 
School of Law. The annotation for the second entry was written by Tom 
Hillstrom, St. Thomas University School of Law.

1) Legal News
Primary Documents
Source: University of Pittsburgh School of Law
Paper Chase
On JURIST's Paper Chase, University of Pittsburgh law professor Bernard 
Hibbitts and his staff of some 30 law students continually track "legal news 
worth thinking about." From the early hours of the morning to past midnight 
every weekday they filter thousands of law-related stories on the Internet, 
using their academic expertise to identify the most important ones (not the 
most sensational ones!), which they then summarize and enrich in real time with 
relevant online research materials. This unique current awareness service is 
completely non-commercial and is provided free by JURIST and the University of 
Pittsburgh School of Law as a public educational service.

International Relations
Primary Documents

New, Diplomacy Monitor
More and more nations are launching public diplomacy campaigns on the Internet, 
posting communiques, transcripts, briefing papers, news releases and other 
diplomatic documents with the goal of shaping opinion within the global 
Internet community The St. Thomas University School of Law Diplomacy Monitor 
monitors the hundreds of government websites feeding this international 
discourse and synthesizes the documents they publish into a central repository 
where they can be viewed in a variety of information streams.
