Over the last twenty years, legal professionals have filled the web with blogs, client alerts, white papers, and more. This digital publishing created a massive body of secondary law.

Almost 20 years ago, I envisioned the day that the niche-focused insight of lawyers then being shared in blogs would instantly assist lawyers working on transactions, documents, pleadings and the like.
