JURIST via RSS
Bernard Hibbitts at 8:07 AM

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds are a great way of keeping up to date with dynamic websites that are frequently updated. Once you subscribe to a feed, new posts appear in your news reader as they are produced, saving you the trouble of having to continually go back to a website (or many websites!) to check for updates.

RSS feeds can also be incorporated directly into other websites, allowing institutions or individuals to display continually updated content from other sources for their own online visitors.

JURIST offers RSS feeds for most of our major legal news-related services:
  • Paper Chase [our main legal news service, updated 20+ times daily]
  • US Legal News [our US news, updated 10+ times daily]
  • World Legal News [our non-US news, updated 10+ times daily]
  • Gazette [new legal news-related documents; updated daily]
  • Monitor [new legal news-related video; updated about every other day]
  • Live Webcasts [live law-related video; updated daily]
  • This Day at Law [legal history; updated daily]
  • Forum [latest op-eds; updated about every other day]
Legal sites and intranets display JURIST feeds in various ways. For example, Georgetown University Law Center Library, the National Judicial College, and the Nelson Mullins law firm in Columbia South Carolina carry Paper Chase headlines and leads from our news stories. Yale Law Library, the Southern Methodist University Law Library, and the Texas Center for the Judiciary carry headlines only. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock School of Law carries our feed in a ticker, as does New York Law School Library.

Some of these institutions use special code blocks we've produced and insert those into their websites to build in the dynamic context; others use third-party providers like Feedroll. Either way, however, they keep their visitors up to date with the latest national and international legal news as our law student editors research and pump it out every day here in Pittsburgh.
