2. The AAJ L@w News Digest is a free weekly news summary provided as a benefit exclusively to AAJ members. Every Thursday, subscribing members receive -- via e-mail -- an in-depth digest containing breaking news, timely features, and information important to the justice system and their practice. Sign up to receive the Digest.

3. While many members have implemented Spam-protection filters to ease their daily e-mail burden, one unfortunate result is that some AAJ member communications and benefits are blocked by these filters, and/or wrongly labeled as Spam. AAJ is taking steps to make sure our important member messages are not mislabeled as Spam. In addition to our efforts, we ask your help in keeping the communication channel between you and AAJ open by making sure AAJ e-mail messages arrive safely in your Inbox. The following is a complete list of e-mail domains from which we send messages to you. This means, if an e-mail has the following "ending," it is coming from AAJ. Please forward this list to your IT department or e-mail service, and ask them to add these domains to your e-mail "safelist" or "whitelist" (the list of e-mails address you have indicated are valid and not Spam). This will guarantee that you receive all the important messages from AAJ that you've indicated you want to get! Please add the following to your e-mail "safelist/whitelist"
   @www.AAJnet.org
   @AAJnet.org
   @lyris.AAJ.org

   @mail.AAJ.org

   - For articles published since July 2006, go to the TRIAL or Law Reporter digital edition, select "Search" on the toolbar, and search by keyword or phrase.
   
   - For older articles, consult the publications' online indexes. TRIAL's index organized by subject and author, includes articles dating back to June 1995. The Law Reporter publishes an index for each year, arranged by subject, case name, and award amount. Click here to select a Law Reporter yearly index.

5. For security reasons, the only way to subscribe to or join justice.org's discussion groups is to go through the web interface. There are two options: (a) join one list or (b) join multiple lists in a single operation.

   1. All available discussion groups are listed under List Servers. The List Servers are password protected so that if you do not already have an justice.org username and password, you need to get one.

   2. If you wish to join multiple lists or join some and drop others or change your settings (mail, digest, index, nomail) in all your lists, we suggest you use this second option. The online registration now includes a checkoff page where all justice.org forums you are qualified to join are listed with check boxes. You simply check mark the lists you are interested in. If you are already in some lists, these will show pre-checked. You can leave these lists simply by unchecking them. You may also change all your list options by selecting the mail, digest, index or nomail option on this page. If you enter a new e-mail address when you register, your old e-mail address will be updated wherever we have it, including all justice.org lists. If you've registered for justice.org before, you may reuse your current username and password or change them if you wish.
