Via Kottke, an an excellent primer on Photographer's rights. The author, attorney Bert Krages, (like me, a Northwestern alum) covers all kinds of issues photo buffs are likely to encounter in the field.
One important issue to keep in mind - only alluded to in the disclaimer - is that this primer covers only the picture taking process and does not address publication rights. For example, Krages correctly states that one may take pictures of children in public places; however, it would usually be advisable to get a release form before publishing a picture of someone's child.
