"The problem with the billable hour is that it's a proxy for revenue and profit and, as such, a poor way to measure value. " -- Sarah Sutherland (@parallaxinfo) writes about valuing lawyers' work in @CBA_News's National Magazine https://t.co/kKkSH8YAEz

[Ed Walters @EJWalters]

I can’t recommend highly enough the new Legal Data book by @CanLII CEO Sarah (@parallaxinfo) Sutherland. This is a must-read for anyone in a legal innovation/data/tech role.

Run, don’t walk, to read this amazing resource!

[Support BAILII @BAILII]

@davidallengreen @UkNatArchives @BAILII is not going anywhere!

We will continue to offer the same free (and login/cookie-free) access to E&W decisions (alongside the planned @UKNatArchives service) AS WELL AS those of other jurisdictions (Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Commonwealth, EU, Middle East).

[CanLII @CanLII]

We are looking forward to this improvement in access to legal information for British Columbians who prefer to access information in Chinese.
Thank you for your work on this to everyone at @ACFriends_Court!

What happened today is huge. PACER reform passed the house during last Congress. Now it's headed for a senate vote with a gazillion cosponsors. When this bill passes, it will open up what's probably the biggest paywall in the world.

[FALM @falminfo]

The @SCC_eng is exploring ways to express law visually. Do you have any other examples from around the world?

[CanLII @CanLII]

Thinking about visual ways to communicate the law?
It looks like the @SCC_eng is too. Justice Rowe used graphics like the one below in R v Albashir, 2021 SCC 48, https://t.co/uF1dzES1vr last week
@OmarHaRedeye wrote about it on @slaw_dot_ca yesterday: https://t.co/iPnzDiOahR
