What Is 'Mudding'? Is It Legal?: A young star from MTV's "Buckwild" reality show died in an apparent "mudding" accident, along with his uncle and a friend. But what exactly is "mudding"? While the activity may be legal in most places, there are some restrictions, not to mention potential legal consequences as well. FindLaw's Law and Daily Life explains. Is It Legal to Ask for Customer ZIP Codes?: A recent Massachusetts court ruling makes collecting customer ZIP codes unlawful in most situations. And Massachusetts isn't alone.

The Impact of Search Engines on Litigation: It used to take quite a bit of time and effort to get your hands on a court opinion, but that was before the Internet.

What can you do to better manage your online reputation in this regard? Check out FindLaw's latest Legal Technology article for some suggestions.
