JURIST
is a Web-based legal news and real-time legal research service
powered by a mostly-volunteer team of over 30 part-time law student
reporters, editors and Web developers led by law professor Bernard
Hibbitts at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, USA. JURIST is produced as a public service for the
continuing legal education of its readers and law student staffers,
and uses the latest Internet technology to track important legal
news stories and materials and present them rapidly, objectively
and intelligibly in an accessible, ad-free format.
