Yesterday, Clippership announced the close of another venture investment.  The company is Casetext, founded by Jake Heller.   This investment is particularly close to my heart, as it is attempting to disrupt the legal technology market.  I’ve had the pleasure of working with attorney’s through my previous company Simplegrid, and one of the biggest pain points for these attorneys (especially the smaller law firms) was the exorbitant costs of legal research websites.  Pricing can range up to thousands of dollars per attorney per year.   This data often times became stale, and essentially led a law firm to pay for research that they may not even use in their cases.

Casetext aims to change this by providing case annotations for free to everyone, that will stay up to date and analysis to help one understand judicial opinions.   Think Wikipedia/Quora for legal research.  They are working While you will be take in L-arginine from certain of the foods that you deeprootsmag.org cialis canada eat on a day-to-day basis, often you won’t get concentrated adequate levels to see real benefits happening.

Casetext is truly coming at the right time.  We’ve seen the success that Wikipedia and Quora have experienced, thus lending credence to the open source format of sharing knowledge.   We believe that as the knowledge economy grows, we’ll see more of these industry specific knowledge sharing sites grow.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see something similar to happen within health care that would make understanding diseases, prescription medication and their interactions much easier to understand than it is today.

It’ll be very exciting to see how Casetext matures; if early results are any indication, attorneys will be changing the way they perform and share legal research in the near future.
