“The federal judiciary has agreed to pay $125 million to reimburse hundreds of thousands of users of the nationwide online records system as part of a proposed settlement made public Tuesday in a long-running lawsuit aimed at reducing the cost to access court records.”
We're pleased to announce a settlement with the judiciary over PACER fees. After six years of hard-fought litigation, the plaintiffs secured a settlement under which the government must reimburse the vast majority of PACER users, 100 cents on the dollar. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

California's Winter Bar Exam Will Be Held In Person, Supreme Court Says ift.tt/3G2pyFY
Hey 1L's. Check out this helpful thread from a law professor on understanding the role of analysis in answering law school questions! (It's the "A" in IRAC).
A common problem 1Ls have with their exams (and therefore their grades) is not understanding the role of analysis in answers. They often won't entirely get what analysis is, and why it's the most important part of an answer. I thought I would explain how I see it. (Thread.)
