No not the 1966 Beatles album with the controversial cover. Today, the United States Tax Court celebrated its centennial year, Ch J Kathleen (“TBS = The Big Shillelagh”) Kerrigan hosting five (count ’em, five) of her illustrious predecessors to reflect on past achievements and highlight current successes on a lunchtime webinar.

Unhappily, this presentation was not recorded, nor will any future ones. So those unable to attend, or were forced to miss some portion, cannot benefit. If the aim of keeping these webinars unrecorded is to prevent the ill-disposed from extracting out-of-context remarks to mislead others, I am sure such types have ways of recording what appears on their computer screens even if they themselves aren’t present.

There’s always an element of self-congratulatory testimony in such webinars, but I found the majority to be merited. The slow rollout of DAWSON and the belated acceptance of electronic filing, decades after other courts had successfully stormed the interwebs, weren’t mentioned.

Of course, the impact of the blogosphere and the scrutiny it brought weren’t mentioned. But that will nowise deter us.
