An article by Bruce Goodman of Varnum LLP regarding Detroit Streetlights was recently published in The National Law Review:
With 139 square miles of land within the city limits, and 60 percent fewer residents than in 1950, Detroit has 88,000 streetlights. To save $10 million a year the mayor has proposed borrowing $160 million to upgrade and reduce the number of streetlights to 46,000. Deciding which areas to illuminate and which to let go dark will reshape the city that has an estimated 37 square miles of vacant property and parks. Conventional wisdom is that state legislation is required to create the needed city lighting authority.

A group of in-house attorneys developed the National Law Review on-line edition to create an easy to use resource to capture legal trends and news as they first start to emerge. We were looking for a better way to organize, vet and easily retrieve all the updates that were being sent to us on a daily basis.In the process, we’ve become one of the highest volume business law websites in the U.S.
Today, the National Law Review’s seasoned editors screen and classify breaking news and analysis authored by recognized legal professionals and our own journalists. There is no log in to access the database and new articles are added hourly.
The National Law Review revolutionized legal publication in 1888 and this cutting-edge tradition continues today.
