While working at your summer job or internship, it is 
important to stay up to date on legal developments and current events. One way to do this is to monitor legal news by using an RSS feed. If you have never set up an RSS feed, watch this easy to follow video demonstrating how to do so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU (Note: this video refers to Google Reader, which is no longer in service.)
As the video describes, you need to complete two steps to create an RSS feed. First, you need to sign on to a reader, which is a website where you view the latest news from your favorite sources. The second step is to set up a connection between your reader and your favorite legal news providers. You do this by subscribing to legal news sites or legal blogs.
Listed below are a few free RSS readers, and a few popular and reliable legal news sources.
