Like a herd of insanely yapping Bengal tigers scavenging the Samoan pampas' temperate desert glaciers for rotting raisinets, our 217 legal information experts -- all former Ivy League Law School Deans -- toil at our luxurious Isles of Langerhans' Command Complex, continuously cruising cyberspace under the watchful gaze of our beloved Head Librarian Ralf, zooming from exclusive enclave to excrement choked slum, searching for the legal materials needed to satiate our beloved patrons' every frivolous whim & decadent desire, some of which we humbly present below.
