We Highlighted a New Update to National Survey of State Laws

National Survey of State Laws (NSSL) is a print and online resource that provides an overall view of some of the most-asked-about and controversial legal topics in the United States. The database is derived from Richard Leiter’s National Survey of State Laws print editions. We added one new chapter and updated several other chapters this month. Read the blog post to learn more.

We Announced an Update to the Edward Elgar Law Publishing Package

We Featured Colin Powell’s Career in the Wake of His Passing

We Researched the History of Mandated Vaccinations

Vaccination requirements aren’t new in the United States. Many infectious diseases have resulted in mandatory inoculations at the federal and state level—well before today’s health and safety measures were put into place. Check out this blog post to learn more about mandated vaccinations for various diseases in American history.

We Conjured Up the Story of the Salem Witch Trials

In 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, accusing someone of witchcraft quickly became a common occurrence. Mass hysteria and paranoia combined with a rudimentary legal system meant that anyone could be convicted of being a witch—and sentenced to death because of it. See what we brewed up in this bewitching blog post.

We Explored the #FreeBritney Movement and Her Toxic Conservatorship

In February 2008, American singer, songwriter, and dancer Britney Spears entered into a conservatorship with her father, Jamie Spears. This followed a series of events including, among other things, Britney shaving her head, attacking the paparazzi, and a very public divorce. With the recent news that Jamie was suspended from the conservatorship, we detailed the timeline of events in what prompted the #FreeBritney movement.

We Took a Look Back at the Copyright History of James Bond

After multiple delays, No Time to Die, the latest James Bond film, is finally in theaters. With the latest release in this iconic film series, we thought it would be fun to explore the tumultuous history behind the copyright to James Bond. Learn more with this blog.
