Two terrific pieces about Spindle Law appeared on the web today.

Robert Ambrogi has an excellent post about the site on his LawSites blog.  He does a great job describing Spindle Law, and explaining why lawyers should find it an intuitive way to find answers to legal questions.  In fact, if you haven’t figured out what in the world it is we’re doing over here, and you’re curious, I refer you to the LawSites piece.  For those of you who don’t follow this sort of thing, Ambrogi is one of the leading commentators on legal technology in the country, so we’re really pleased about his post.

Also today, Legal Geekery’s newest podcast (Episode 15) includes a 15-minute-or-so conversation that Laura Bergus recorded with me a couple of weeks ago about Spindle Law.  (Listen to the whole thing, but if you want to start with the Spindle Law segment, it begins at 37:25.)  Laura, as you may know, is both a law student and a professional social media expert, and, as she related on her own blog on the 30th, we ended up speaking after she tweeted her desire for a site that crowd-sourced propositions of law and supporting authorities.  So it almost goes without saying that our project makes sense to her.  It was a real pleasure speaking with her both during the interview and beforehand, when she let me pick her brain about the best ways to get law students involved in what we’re making.  I hope you’ll find it interesting, and if you’re one of her law student listeners—or a lawyer or law professor or other law type—please join us!
