Welcome to the Spindle Law blog!  Spindle Law is a new legal research and writing system based on contributions from practicing lawyers, law professors, judges, law clerks, and law students—anyone who cares about the law, knows something about it, and wants to share.  We’re in private alpha right now, so I plan to use a few upcoming posts to tell our non-alpha users a little bit more about what we are doing.  For current users and future users alike this blog is also intended to keep you up-to-date on developments in the site and what we have in the works.  We will probably also post sometimes about the business, or the law, or technology, when we think it might interest our readers—or when we think our readers might have something interesting to say in response.  If you’ve read this far, you might also be wondering who will be blogging here.  For now, it’s exactly the list of people on our Team page.  I hope we will add other regular and/or occasional contributors in the future.  In the meantime, again, welcome.
