This is the first story in our new weekly legal roundup data section. We’ll soon give it a snappy new name. And eventually it will be for BizSense Pro subscribers, which we will be introducing in coming weeks. The data provides an incredible glimpse behind the scenes on what businesses are doing in circuit courts. It will give business owners a valuable tool for finding out what clients and competitors are up to. It’s also entertaining. But be warned, there are a ton of “trip and fall” lawsuits. Some interesting cases this week: a printer wants $20,000 from a magazine publisher it says didn’t pay for copies, according to the lawsuit. Also this week, a hardware supplier wants more than $20,000 from a builder it says didn’t pay.
