Our latest update to Spindle Law includes a number of small enhancements and bug fixes.   To highlight two of them:

As David already described, we don’t collect cases and other legal documents.   Instead, where possible, we provide links to where you can read the primary material on other sites.  Until this update, we only provided links to cases.  We now provide links to source material for all the different types of authorities that we currently support.  In addition to cases, this includes the United States Code, the Code of Federal Regulations, and Federal Rules of Evidence and of Procedure.  As with cases, we provide links to both free and pay sites.   For the links to the free sites for USC and CFR we use the handy citer tool from Cornell’s Legal Information Institute, which will find the material either on LII’s own site or a government site.   For the rules of evidence and procedure, we link directly to the material on LII.

When editing branches we’ve had a feature for quite some time that allows you to edit multiple branches at the same time by using the “tree view” link.  This allows you to open the tree as much as you want, so that you can easily move branches around, create new branches, and edit existing branches.    This feature has been enhanced with a new “save & continue” button.  This will allow you to save all the work that you have done so far while continuing to edit branches.  When you’re done editing, the “save” button will save all your work and end your edit session as before.  The “cancel” button will also end your edit session but will undo all your work since your last “save & continue”.
