JURIST is your place for US and world legal news. Our mission is to explain developments in the law to the broadest online readership possible, complete with primary source documents and reasoned analysis.
A small professional staff led by Professor Bernard Hibbitts and a team of volunteer law students produce and publish JURIST as a public service, believing that access to the law deepens debate and strengthens democracy.
JURIST has been cited in briefs, motions, and memorandum to the Supreme Court of the United States, state supreme courts, and federal and state appellate and trial courts. It has also been cited in over 700 law review articles, appearing in publications such as the Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Journal.
Since our launch in 2013, LiveLaw has spent 13 years growing into India’s No. 1 Legal News Portal.
Our success is rooted in our commitment to non-sensational, fact-based, and fiercely independent legal journalism. We maintain absolute editorial independence by funding our operations primarily through affordable subscriptions and minimal advertisements. This essential model allows us to keep our rates low, maximizing both affordability and wider reach.
We firmly believe basic legal awareness is fundamental, as law influences all disciplines; it is crucial for establishing rights and performing duties. Our core endeavor is to bring greater transparency in legal reporting without ever compromising the supremacy of law. To expand public access, our complete Hindi version is provided free of any subscription paywall.
