Launched on May 30, this new online magazine from FindLaw (last discussed in the
January 15, 1999 Scout Report) is aimed at both the legal community and "all Americans interested in law and its impact on our culture." The premier issue features commentary on current legal questions and law in our culture from prominent lawyers, legal scholars, and writers, such as Alan Dershowitz, Walter Dellinger, and Sol Wisenberg. Features include commentary on Miranda, the Napster-Metallica lawsuit (from the principal attorneys and a University of Chicago law professor), judicial activism, school prayer and football, and "the algebra of true love." A daily updated News section also reports on recent cases or legal developments in the headlines of
The Washington Post and other sources. The Commentary and Cafe (culture) sections will be updated each week, and message boards are in development. Well-written and engaging, the premier issue of WRIT should appeal to a wide range of readers.
