This week, we noted a New York State Bar Association ethics opinion that articulated under what circumstances it would be ethical to use crowdfunding to finance the start-up costs of a law firm. The opinion was in response to an inquiry from recent law school graduates.
So we’d like to ask you: Have you ever contributed to a crowdfunding venture? Be it for litigation financing, a political campaign or an independently produced film or video game? What did you fund, and why did you decide to back it?

Read the answers to last week’s question: Who do you think is the smartest judge in the United States?
Featured answers:
Posted by Rule 56: “It’s Posner and it’s not even close. And I say that as someone who’s been on the receiving end of his verbal barrages. Again, the question is the smartest, not the most personable or the one with the best bedside manner. That’s Posner. He’s written more books and more opinions than all the others combined.”
Posted by Borstal: “Of the sitting judges I have had personal contact with, unquestionably Justice Elena Kagan.”
