Earlier this summer, you may have heard that Justia launched Verdict, a legal analysis and commentary site. The top-flight columnists cover legal topics like constitutional law, international human rights, new technology, discrimination, family law, and more. Each weekday, Verdict publishes a new column with fantastic analysis of current events and legal topics. We very highly recommend reading. In fact, one Fastcase team member enthusiastically declares, “The time I spend reading Verdict is one of the best parts of my day.”

A quick list of this weeks columns:

Armed and Crazy: Should Mentally Ill People Be Permitted to Own Firearms?

“Respect” or “Defend” Marriage? The Senate Considers a Bill to Repeal the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 (DOMA)
