Latest Westcast Features West Headnote of the Day
EAGAN, Minn.,
"Judicial notice could be taken that Friday is usually an off-day in World Series play.” U.S. v. $1,963 in U.S. Money, 270 F. Supp 396 (1967) is today’s Headnote of the Day and featured in the latest episode of Westcast, the audio podcast from Thomson West. Headnote of the Day is the new free daily information feed from West.
“People are fascinated with the law,” said Al Maleson, West Headnote of the
Day developer. “The law is life and death, love and betrayal, marriage and
family, crime and punishment. This is also what is captured in the free
West Headnote of the Day, and why we think headnotes make good daily
reading.”
Editor’s note: A headnote is a concisely written definition of a
point of law in a judicial case, and any given case can have more than 50
points of law. West attorney editors have written more than 24 million
headnotes as part of West’s caselaw collection, and write some 500,000
headnotes each year.
Headnote of the Day is a free subscription service. To subscribe, go
