You know what’s hard? Building legal research software. Which makes it all the more impressive that Joe Mornin found the time to build a Chrome extension for WestlawNext chock-a-block full of awesome, timesaving features – while he was a 3L at UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall) and the Editor-in-Chief of the Berkeley Technology Law Journal. Joe’s plugin (soon to be extended to LexisNexis and Firefox) does useful things, like allow one-click copy of a Bluebook-compliant citation, or keep the service from logging you out due to inactivity. One might expect that Joe would get under the hood of his legal research software. He previously worked at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, the Harvard Library Innovation Lab, and the Center for Democracy & Technology.
