Point of Law has been picked as today's "RSS Feed of the Day" by Pluck, which bills itself as "the #1 browser-based RSS reader". It says this site "takes a look into the activities of one of the most prominent rent-seeking professions -- litigators -- and blogs about the US legal system, with a keen eye towards what's happening with our unfortunately lawsuit-happy country." The economic term rent-seeking, incidentally, "is defined as 'cutting yourself a bigger slice of the cake without making the cake bigger', i.e. trying to make more money without producing economic value for society."
