Description

Thanks to the wide-scale adoption of the Internet as a primary means of disseminating information, the amount available is increasing at an exponential rate every day. This is especially true for the legal field and the practice of law. There is an incredible amount of information being released from a myriad of sources; government agencies, legal scholars, private practitioners, experts and more are distributing a veritable treasure trove of resources online.

The question is no longer “Is it out there?” but “How can I find it?” Unfortunately, this question is becoming increasingly difficult as the shear amount being released begins to obfuscate the process of finding all of that useful data. One solution to this ever- increasing obstacle is not to search more and search longer, but rather to have the desired information be delivered to you in a timely and organized fashion. An ideal way to achieve this is with a piece of technology called "RSS" or "Really Simple Syndication"
