[JURIST announcement] As you may well have noticed, we have officially kicked off our Spring 2013 Fundraising Drive!

Throughout the month, we’ll be (briefly) interrupting our regularly scheduled programming to ask you a simple question: how much is JURIST worth to you?

For as little as $10, you can show that you believe in JURIST, that you support unbiased news coverage, and that you encourage our ad-free, registration-free publication model. You can also become a sustaining member and show your support for JURIST every month. Just check the “recurring monthly donation” box on the donation form.

Getting down to brass tacks: we need your help to pursue our mission. JURIST is lucky to receive support from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. We are also lucky to receive substantial support from other non-profits who believe in our mission. In the end, however, we are in fact an independent non-profit and need to generate our own financial support. Like our public broadcasting colleagues at PBS and NPR, we believe that our audience is both our most important and most reliable source of funding.

We do what we do for you, our readers, and we are only able to do it with your support. If you value JURIST, please consider donating so that we can continue to bring you the substantive legal news and reasoned expert commentary that you’ve come to expect and enjoy.

You can read more at https://www.jurist.org/supportjurist, or if you’re ready to join us, you can donate now!

Thank you – we greatly appreciate your support!
