For discussion of the legal field and legal news

Rules
  1. No editorialized titles. Fairly summarizing a direct link to a court opinion is allowed.
  2. Discussion of specific cases must either link to the opinion itself or an article containing a link to the opinion.
  3. Articles cannot be primarily concerning politics. Obviously laws themselves are written by politicians, and many legal cases have political effects, but posts must be focused on the laws themselves.

Mergers almost always sadden me. Casetext was one of the few places providing legal texts for free. I can't imagine this helps Westlaw at all beyond eliminating some competition. They claim this is to further their AI offerings, which is both nonsense and horrifying prospect in and of itself.
