About Us
Our History
Right Scope began as a collaborative initiative among legal scholars and researchers who recognized a missing piece in mainstream legal commentary: the nuanced understanding of where and how far legal norms apply. While many legal blogs focused on substance, few addressed the technical and philosophical dimensions of legal scope — spatial, temporal, personal, and material. That gap sparked our foundation.
In 2020, we launched with the intention of merging academic depth with real-world usability. We integrated data-driven research with tools like westlaw, practical law, and westlaw edge, enabling a methodical approach to issues such as retroactivity, extra-jurisdictional enforcement, and vertical legal layering. The feedback from law schools, legal practitioners, and judicial clerks confirmed the demand for what we offer.
Over the years, Right Scope has grown into a trusted resource for those who want more than summaries — they want structured analysis, sourced reasoning, and clarity in legal application. From helping students navigate westlaw twen to supporting citation integrity in westlaw legal research, our history is defined by curiosity, rigor, and a commitment to precision.
Our Vision
We envision a legal culture that values not only what laws say, but where they operate — one where boundaries are just as respected as rules, and where legal literacy includes an understanding of scope, structure, and consequence.
Our Mission
Our mission is to unpack the invisible architecture of law by providing thoughtful, source-backed, and jurisdictionally aware analysis — making the scope of legal norms accessible to students, practitioners, and scholars worldwide.
Core Values
At Right Scope, we value clarity, integrity, methodology, and accessibility. We believe that legal understanding should be grounded in reliable sources like westlaw, shaped by doctrinal discipline, and shared in a language that bridges theory and practice.
