Cataloger’s Pick The Insider: A True Story, by Dan Verton “Just because you’re paranoid doesn't mean they’re not after you.” --Kurt Cobain One of the interesting things about cataloging the books in the Pierce Law library is that you get to read the interesting ones as they come in. This month’s pick, The Insider, is as close to a Tom Clancy novel as you’ll find in the Intellectual Property library. Verton’s thesis in The Insider is that the greatest risk to Intellectual Property security facing both the United States government and most major corporations, is theft of information from within. Now, that probably doesn’t seem like rocket science to most of us, but you should really look at this book. It’s written almost in a National Enquirer narrative style. It’s full of intrigue—true stories of corruption, insider trading, industrial espionage, and international spying. And why is all of this spurious activity happening? Because, “information has replaced the dollar bill as the currency of the Internet economy.” (Hmm…this might be a good time to be a librarian…). Turns out that Insider’s author, Dan Verton runs a consulting company helping the government set up internal security systems. And, while that may seem disingenuous and just a teensy bit self-serving to us readers, Verton has used his own experience to add “spice” to the story. You can find this book in the IP library at call number HV6773 .V47 2005.

Click on call numbers to go to that selection in the online catalog. Click on book covers to go to bookseller online. The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia Neil M. Gorsuch This treatise gives a thorough overview of the ethical and legal issues raised by assisted suicide and euthanasia, and a comprehensive argument against their legalization. Neil Gorsuch discusses the strengths and weaknesses of leading ethical arguments for assisted suicide and euthanasia and the evolution of laws and attitudes in American society. Those on both sides of the assisted suicide question will find Gorsuch's book to be a thoughtful and stimulating contribution to the debate about one of the most controversial public policy issues of our day. There are many books and articles on assisted suicide and euthanasia, but this The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia is a timely and significant addition to the bookshelf.
Edited by Joanna Harrington, et al Questions raised:
Open Innovation: Researching a New Paradigm Edited by Henry Chesbrough, et al.
The editors of this book investigate the phenomen of open innovation, what is new and what is familiar in the process. Open Innovation is a term promoted by Henry Chesbrough. The central idea behind open innovation is that in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own R&D, but should instead buy or licenses and paternts from other companies. Before the second world war, closed innovation was the practice of most firms. Companies kept their discoveries highly secret and made no attempt to assimilate information from outside their own research labs. However, in recent years the world has seen major advances in technology and society which have facilitated the diffusion of information. Today information can be transferred so easily that it seems impossible to prevent. So if firms cannot stop this phenomenon, they must learn to take advantage of it. It is the business model of the firm that determines what external information to bring inside, and what internal information to take outside.

Q: I recently read an article in the “Concord Monitor” that some historical papers and records from former New Hampshire Chief Justice Charles Doe, as well as many books from his personal library, were recently found in a barn in Rollinsford and donated to the New Hampshire Law Library. I had not heard of this justice before and would like to know a little more about him, so I can better understand the significance of this donation and the importance of his work while on the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Do you have any suggestions on materials I might read about him? A: I think many people in the legal community are asking similar questions about this justice. The definitive biography about the justice was written by John Phillip Reid and is called Chief Justice: The Judicial World of Charles Doe, published by Harvard University Press in 1967, and is located in our treatise collection at KF368.D6R4. Professor Reid, who has written extensively on historical legal topics and people, also wrote an excellent article entitled From Common Sense to Common Law to Charles Doe, published at 1 N.H.B.J. 27 (April 1959), tracing trends and developments in procedures used in early New Hampshire courts and focusing on Justice Doe’s role in modernizing New Hampshire’s civil procedure rules. When the portrait of Chief Justice Charles Doe, which is displayed in the New Hampshire Supreme Court, was dedicated, a short article about that event and about the justice was published in 15 N.H.B.J. 25 (#2 1973). In that article, then president of the New Hampshire Bar Association Donald Bryant noted that Doe’s whole judicial career was characterized by reforms. Id. Besides procedural reforms, Doe practiced and encouraged civility among bar members, id. at 27; he created a new doctrine in criminal insanity in New Hampshire, id. at 28; and was a reformer in the law of evidence (so much so that Dean Wigmore dedicated his famous treatise on evidence to Justice Doe) id. Doe also simplified rules of construction for wills, pioneered in the law of torts, and in constitutional interpretation. Id. at 29. There is a Note entitled Doe of New Hampshire: Reflections on a Nineteenth Century Judge, published in 63 Harv. L. Rev. 513 (1950). This 10 page article gives a great, brief overview of his life and accomplishments, in an historical context. If you want more detail than these articles offer but do not have time to read the book biography, you might wish to look at the article about Charles Doe published in Great American Lawyers: The Lives and Influence of Judges and Lawyers who Have Acquired Permanent National Reputation, and Have Developed the Jurisprudence of the United States; A History of the Legal Profession, located in our treatise collection at KF367.L45 1971, edited by William Draper Lewis and published in 1909. Volume VIII contains a 76 page article which focuses on Doe’s legal accomplishments and his jurisprudence. If you wanted to do more research on Chief Justice Charles Doe, you could find many other relevant sources through a close reading of the footnotes cited in these articles and books and consultation of some of those sources. And, for the avid historian who wishes to do extensive research on Doe, the New Hampshire Historical Society already has an extensive collection of papers on Charles Doe which was in place prior to this most recent donation. You can check the catalog of these holdings by going to http://nhhistory.library.net/ and entering “charles doe” in the search box. (At this point, it is not clear where this recent donation of Chief Justice Charles Doe materials will be housed, and they may not end up being added to the New Hampshire Historical Society’s collection.) So, there are quite a few materials available for you to consult, depending on your interest level and the amount of time you have to spend, to learn more about this famous New Hampshire judge.

Meet Jim Broutzos Jim Broutzos is the new kid on the block, taking over Government Documents from Kathie Hindley, who is now Acquisitions Supervisor, a position Jean Everson left when she retired in December. Jim received his BA in 2004 from Keene State in Film Studies, where he made an independent film titled, "Savagery Among the Orchids," in which he used his roommates pet gecko as savage crocodiles. He promises to bring it in for a screening. One of Jim's instructors, Kate Phillips (stage name Kay Linaker) wrote the screen play for The Blob (1958) and chose Steve McQueen for his first film role. Although the Blob went on to gross millions, she was paid $125 for the screen play. She appeared in many films of the 1930s and '40s (including Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) , Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) , War Dogs (1942) and a quartet of Charlie Chan movies. Kate Phillips is still lecturing on film studies at Keene State College in Keene NH, at the age of 93. Jim says, "She was my professor at Keene State - where I took acting for the screen, interpreting screen acting styles, and classics of Hollywood cinema... a TRULY inspiring lady!!!!!!!" The library is using his film expertise by helping develop a short movie introducing Pierce Law Library to incoming students.
Jim lives in Manchester with his roommate, Doreen, pictured at right.
Doreen is aspiring to become a model, appearing on cat food packaging, and in commercials. |

Charles Doe papers found NH Chief Justice of the NH Supreme Court The NH Supreme Court campus was renamed "Charles Doe Place" in honor of the longest serving member of the state's highest court, Charles Cogswell Doe. The renaming of the Court campus and street leading to it was effective July 21, 2006. Five months later the Supreme Court Law Librarian, Mary Searles, received a phone call offering the library several boxes of papers and books from the library of a past Supreme Court Judge. Within a day, Mary traveled to Rollinsford, NH to view the collection. What she found both dismayed and excited her. Since the collection was kept in a barn for many years the 88 boxes contained moldy and mouse chewed books, court records, and personal papers from the book.
Mary brought the 403 court dockets to the library, and the books to a state storage area, where they will be archived and protected before being made available to the public. A newly formed Supreme Court Historical Society is beginning that process. Cindy Landau, Pierce Law Library Assistant Director, and I were awed to actually hold in our hands these valuable remnants of NH history. The court dockets were filled with Justice Doe's notes on cases before him from 1859 to 1896. On one he penned a humorous thought on a particular presenter's style. See photo below.
Many of the books are moldy, dusty, and chewed by mice. They will be brought into the library only after free of mold and the possibility of introducing insects into other parts of the collection.
Mary Searles points out some of the more important titles from Charles Doe's library in a state storage area.
Find more information on Charles Doe in this newsletter: Reference Desk. Chief Justice: The Judicial World of Charles Doe, by John Phillip Reid, is the leading treatise on this historic figure.

Many books are offered to students free of charge. These may be duplicates we find on our shelves, or most likely they are donations, from people outside who are closing or weeding their personal libraries. or from professors here at Pierce Law who receive sample texts from publishers. The library is happy to make available to students the ones we cannot use in our collection. So check out the cart or stack on the library desk when you see a "Free " sign, as you just might find a treasure.

In law libraries lights turn on in carrels - law illuminated The law, briefly said, lives its life bound in leather or tied up in court Law librarians assist others to find law - it's not common law Law librarians examine legal briefs to see if they fit well Law students in love with law books and law volumes sleep in law carrels Wandering through stacks with volumes of arcane law can make you hungry Law librarians fine few for hanging onto bar preparations I've seen legal tomes I would never give shelf life - libraries unplugged Give me some good law stirred in a librarian - a legal cocktail

End Notes How glorious it is to have a library office window. The Maple tree outside my window is quite wonderful as the seasons change. Right now there should be snow settled on the I am frustrated too as today all I see out my window is gray, gray, gray. The foreign students from warm snowless climates look forward to the white stuff that they hear about. They might think we tell them snow stories so they will come here. In years to come people will forget snow and lose the origin of, "A snow job," "Snowed with work," "Snowed in," Pure as the driven snow," or "Catching snowflakes on your tongue." Well, since there is no snow to shovel this evening, guess I'll be forced to read a good library book by the fire. Darn!
