Working on a online bankruptcy database
As I near the end of my law school career, it’s occurred to me that one of the the things I’ll miss most is the full boat access to online tools like Westlaw and Lexis. It seems to me that staying sharp on the law, which is changing as I write this, is one of the most important things I can do as a lawyer.
Not having these tools will make it harder and filling that gap personally is expensive. While information isn’t free, its cost in almost every other field is rapidly declining. Why not law?
So I’m filling the gap myself. I’m currently building a database to contain bankruptcy cases from select states around the country, starting with my home state of Arizona. It will be available at Bankruptcy Law Reports (.com). I think you’re going to like it.
This afternoon, I’m going to load up 2009′s cases from Arizona. I’ll let you know how it goes.
