Legal news, made readable

Zac leads the site's lawsuit and settlement coverage. His work starts in the primary record — complaints, motions, settlement agreements and claims-administrator notices — which he translates into explainers a first-time reader can follow. He covers consumer class actions, attorney profiles and high-profile civil cases, and maintains the site's running updates as cases move through the courts.

Zac has spent 5+ years researching and writing about litigation and the legal profession for online publications. He is not a licensed attorney, and his articles are informational rather than legal advice — a distinction he flags whenever a topic edges toward reader decision-making.
