Greetings, my name is David Colarusso. I'm the co-director of Suffolk University Law School's Legal Innovation & Technology (LIT) Lab. With one foot in law and the other in tech, I really want the open web to thrive. So I created a bot (@icymilaw.org) and this site to help folks discover great law-themed content while showing off what one can do with sufficiently open protocols.
If you like these, you'll ❤️ The Finite Scroll, an open-source client-side algorithmically-driven RSS reader. You might also enjoy this post: How and why I (still) use social media. It includes tips on how to make your own custom social media algo(s).
In addition to the RSS feeds below, here's the legal tech feed 
powering @news.bot.suffolklitlab.org (another bot of mine).
Note, the number of fire emoji represent how many standard deviations more popular a link is than the average link observed in its category.
