This legally wired is better than re-writing stories published in the other mainstream area. However this can be one round-up post a week instead of daily posts.

Hi JFK, glad you like - Legally Wired is unashamedly cribbed from AboveTheLaw.com's non-sequitur column.

I am not sure a weekly format would work very well though - most news would be old if we only listed them once a week?

Why do you not like the daily format so much?
