New site: Legal Reform Now
""LegalReformNow.com, a new website on legal reform, was launched today.

LegalReformNow.com is intended as a "clearinghouse for legal reform information on the Web sponsored by a diverse coalition of associations, chambers of commerce, think tanks and state-based legal reform groups."""
