Seventh Circuit Links Updated

We noticed a few weeks back that some of our links had been rendered obsolescent by a revamping of the Seventh Circuit's website. We kept procrastinating about fixing them, until we read Bob Ambrogi's critique of Findlaw, whose links are apparently in a state of some disrepair.

Well, when you think of legal websites, what sites do you think of? You think of Findlaw first, maybe. But our parent site is obviously a close second. So we became worried, naturally, that our own lassitude in link maintenance would soon become the focus of public scandal. In the effort to beat Bob Ambrogi to the punch, we woke up early this morning, brewed ourselves a pot of strong coffee, and repaired all the links on our Seventh Circuit page. (Note to Seventh Circuit webmaster: Kindly review our cri de couer of 8/7/04.)

Technically, we might have qualified for Bob Ambrogi's "mom-and-pop" exception. But resort to that excuse would not have been altogether free from ignominy. And the purpose of a site that provides links to judicial opinions, we suppose, is to supply working links.

We're still working on updating duplicate Seventh Circuit links on other pages at the site. And the Federal Circuit (where the links can't ever seem to stay put) is next. We promise.

Update 7/17/05: The duplicate Seventh Circuit links are now fixed too.
