[EL] Election law listserv housekeeping---PLEASE READ

[Rick Hasen]

It is August, and that means it is time for an annual message to list 
users, with some reminders and requests for updated information.  Please 
save this email for future reference.

*1. Handling subscriptions and archives. *The current web home page for 
the election law listserv is here:

http://department-lists.uci.edu/mailman/listinfo/law-election

Use this address if you need to unsubscribe or change your subscription, 
move to "digest" mode, or access the archives.

[The pre-June 2011 archives are still on Loyola's servers, with many 
thanks to Loyola: http://mailman.lls.edu/pipermail/election-law/.]

If you are abandoning an email address (such as by leaving a position at 
a job), please remember to unsubscribe before you go.


*2. Election law teacher database. *The current version of the Election 
Law Teacher database (listing information about those who teach election 
law) is here:

http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2014-election-law-teacher-database.xlsx

As I noted in a separate email, please send any additions or updates to 
my assistant, Stacy Tran, by _Monday Aug. 10_.

*3. Election law addressbook.*  This service has now been moved over to 
UCI Law. It provides lists of addresses for those who wish to receive 
election law article reprints or find someone's email address.  You can 
access the list to make changes, print labels, or add yourself as a new 
addressee.  To access the page you need to use the _username "election"_ 
and the password, which is the same as the password at the old Loyola 
site. If you do not remember the password, please send a private message 
to my assistant, Stacy Tran, (stran at law.uci.edu) and she will email it 
to you.

Once you have the username and password, go to the following address:
https://apps.law.uci.edu/electlaw


*4. Repository of election law teaching materials. *You can find old 
exams, syllabi, etc. from a number of election law professors here:

http://electionlawblog.org/archives/003647.html

with a 2010 update, done by Josh Douglas:
http://electionlawblog.org/?p=15839

My 2013 syllabus is here:
http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/SYLLABUS.15-electlaw.doc

It would be a great project for someone to collect newer teaching 
materials and post them. I can then link on ELB and send out to the 
listserv.


*5. Signing up for other mailing lists and blog postings.*  In an effort 
to keep traffic on the election law list manageable, we ask that those 
who maintain mailing lists for their election law related organizations 
or blogs send out a single, annual notice to the election law listserv 
about how to sign up for an electronic mailing list.  (Among those 
sending regular mailings I receive are (in no particular order):  CCP, 
CLCBlog, James Madison Center, Fairvote, Moritz, Campaign Finance 
Institute, Electionline, and the EAC.)  These groups and others should 
send out an annual reminder message some time during August with 
information about how to sign up to receive regular emailings.  Please 
do not get in the regular habit of sending press releases directly to 
the list.  Send it to me for possible inclusion in the blog.

*6. Quoting from listserv posts, for journalists and others/Google 
searches.*  Here is a reminder of our press policy:  "Members of the 
press may subscribe to the listserv and may describe in general terms 
the substance of discussion on the list, but should not quote posted 
comments or attribute ideas to specific individuals without the consent 
of the individuals."  Though we have endeavored to keep list archives 
off Google and other search engines, in the past some list postings have 
shown up on Google.  A good rule of thumb is that everything you post on 
the list eventually will be read by your spouse, mother, boss, 
adversary, and every journalist in the U.S, and will remain on the 
Internet indefinitely.  In other words, think before you hit the "send" 
button.

With over 1100 listserv subscribers, administrative issues can take some 
time.  Your cooperation helps keep things moving smoothly.  We always 
welcome your suggestions for improvements.
