Report on jury-tampering allegations in Murdaugh trial: our first original content

It's an informal one to start with, and written by me.

The backstory: a new way we're making the law more accessible

I've begun linking to secondary sources that shed light on the law in some way. Here's a great example from the Consolidated Laws of New York. I've placed a very on-point citation to a NYC Loft Board post.

Personally, as an attorney who doesn't specialize in (say) NY "Multiple Dwelling Law", I really appreciate secondary sources like these. Note how the statutory text (the primary source) doesn't actually contain the relevant word, loft. ("Loft" does appear higher up in the hierarchy: this is part of the "Loft Law". So that's on me to elegantly display to website visitors.)

I'm also coding publication indexes, a work in progress:

The issue I was faced with is not being able to find topical high quality publications for e.g., current events. And so we've begun publishing our own. Luckily, we have several promising candidates in the pipeline who have much better writing and journalism skills then I.
