The outside view
A nonpartisan legal research institute whose working groups build consensus commentary that has become de facto standard in areas like electronic discovery and complex litigation
- Consensus
- Build
- Outward
- Operational
Their shape
The Republic
Run by its members, built to outlast them.
The Republic runs like a well-built institution, professional and stable, under the guidance of its members. Its gift is scale and continuity, its challenge is staying close to the grassroots as it grows.
Also reads toward The Parliament and The Citadel.
