It should be written in Markdown

The list should be written in Markdown, not HTML, for greatest portability. Then, pandoc can be used to convert the output

Patagonia too sadly

Create 'src' and 'dist' folders.

The 'src' folder should have the raw markdown source file as the single source of truth. The 'dist' folder would have pandoc-converted alternate formats

Unprintable character in lawsuits.csv

The "Greyhound Lines and Firstgroup Americaæ" entry in the csv file has an æ character that shows up as a question mark within a black diamond in the browser (Windows/Chrome):

"Updated" date needs to be at top of page

After updating the table, please add the date of the update to the line at the top of the page.
For example, if the table is updated in Jan 2017, the line would read:

By karlgroves Published November 15, 2011 Updated January, 2017

That way, people will keep reading, and not just assume that the information on the page is too old.

Bring list up to date

Lainey Feingold is particularly diligent about keeping settlement information up to date (http://lflegal.com/archives/)

One challenge with NFB press releases is that they often take them down. I assume that they do so as part of settlement agreements, but I'm not sure. Searching Google News is probably a better bet.

Host your html file on gh-pages?

That way one can browser what we got so far.

This is great for a business case. Thanks for this!

Winn-Dixie

Winn-Dixie is a landmark case because apparently it was the first time that a court ruled that a private sector website must be made accessible. Previous to this, website accessibility litigation was settled out of court.
