In Case You Missed It (Law)
Digest for Monday June 23, 2025

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. Note, the number of fire emoji represent how many standard deviations more popular a link is than the average link observed in its category.

If you like these, you'll ❤️ this open source client-side algorithmically-driven RSS reader.
