Ten years and ten days ago, I brought forth on this continent a new blog, conceived in the principle that judicial proceedings require public participation, and dedicated to the proposition that litigants and the public deserve equal consideration.

We are now met on the eve of a great new electronic era, where we shall test whether a blog so conceived and dedicated can long endure.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to the challenge, and, if you have technical questions, contact Tax Court Public Affairs office at (202)  521-3355, and tell ’em Taishoff sent you.
