King County Law Library Podcasting Goes Live!

Side Bar: a place where servers go to place and pick up drink orders.

As readers of Stina McClintock's A View from the Stacks column know the King County Law Library (KCLL) has been working on its first podcast production. In what may be a blogosphere exclusive, I'm please to report that KCLL has just released the first episode of "Sidebar," appropriately titled "Would you like to join us for a Sidebar?" Congratulations to all.

Wedged between opening and closing remarks, Stina discusses "what she knows best" beer! In this instance, Stina reviews Costco Wholesale Corp. v. Hoen, 2006-1 Trade Cases P 75,250, (W.D.Wash. 2006) which held that a state interest in promoting temperance does not trump the federal interest in promoting competition. And thank god for that! 

Stephen Diamond, Miami Law Prof known for his expertise in foreign and domestic alcoholic beverage and food law, has some real competition now! [JH]
