Thomson Reuters partnered with the United Nations and Freedom Now recently to create the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention Search database, introduced in a ceremony in Paris earlier this week.
This publicly available database contains more than 650 opinions from the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and will serve as a valuable resource supporting advocacy work and protecting human rights. As the Working Group issues new opinions, we will update the database.
I’m proud to be part of this important work, and I’m delighted to support this effort as part of our ongoing commitment to the rule of law.
You can learn more about the project from the news release.

I hope you can join us here at LegalTech New York today through Wednesday at the New York Hilton. If you’re in the city, please stop by our booth to hear about WestlawNext, our groundbreaking new legal research system that sets a new standard for search power and ease of use. Members of the media also are invited to a special briefing this morning at 9 a.m.
We’ve put together a great schedule of seminars and keynotes at LegalTech: I am honored to share the stage today with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and director general emeritus of the International Atomic Energy Agency Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei for a general session titled “The Rule of Law and the Role of Information in Verifying Compliance in Developing Nations.” This session will be today, from 12:45 to 2 p.m.
Thomson Reuters, Professional Division CTO Rick King will speak during lunch at the CIO Forum on Tuesday; and Thomson Reuters Chief Strategy Officer David Craig, futurist and best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell and New York Times medical columnist Dr. Lisa Sanders will present the keynote on Wednesday. Their topic will be “The New Convergence of Intelligence, Intuition and Information.”
If you are unable to attend LegalTech, please follow the show here on Legal Current.
Thank you. I hope to see you here at LegalTech.

A little over a year ago, we launched WestBlog – our first external social media effort – to speak to trends and issues in the U.S. legal marketplace and participate in industry discussions in what we hoped would be a meaningful way. A year later, we have marked great progress – so much so that today I’m pleased to let you know that we’re taking the initiative to the next stage.
We’ve introduced a new blog platform to replace WestBlog, with the intention of sharing more stories from across the global businesses that make up Thomson Reuters, Legal.
The new blog, Legal Current, will introduce you to key voices – ours and others – from across the global legal marketplace, and will showcase many of the bright minds behind the technology, innovation, content and trends shaping the legal industry worldwide. We’ll share the unique perspectives of our authors and insiders, and provide new channels for feedback.
I’m pleased to be a part of this expanded conversation, and welcome you to participate in the discussion. I hope to see you here.

Then in our “On the Blawgs” [...]
