    I am happy to report that the server problems associated with my electronic journal of language and law, "Language in the Judicial Process," have been resolved. The URL <http://ljp.la.utk.edu>; now gives full access to the current issue (issue 2.4, online today) and all back issues.

    Because of the nature of the server problems, issue 2.4 contains fewer items than originally planned. The book reviews for the books listed below will be in 3.1, to appear shortly.

    Thank you for your helpful posts re access problems and for your patience.

    Best regards, Bethany Dumas

    New for 1997 from Cascadilla Press: Magnetic Phonetics.

    Magnetic Phonetics is a set of almost 300 magnetic tiles with all of the IPA symbols on them, including tiles for diacritics. The tiles stick to refrigerators and metal file cabinets. Magnetic Phonetics also contains 120 tiles oriented towards broad transcription of English, with a score on each tile. This set can be used to play IPA Crossword on a tabletop or a magnetic surface. We include a rules guide and copies of the current IPA chart with each set.

    For details, go to http://www.cascadilla.com/magpho.html or send e-mail to magphocascadilla.com. Note: the tiles are small, and are not for use by linguists under the age of 4.
