I've re-upped my paid subscription to Court Watch, and I think everybody who cares at all about the many legal cases of consequence afoot these days should too. I get subscription fatigue -- I only pay for a handful of outlets, and I'm a journalism dork -- but at $9/mo this is supremely worthwhile.
Today, we make the case why you should support Court Watch. Here’s our deeply transparent look at what it takes to make news.
