If you are not familiar with RSS Feeds, please review the following:

An RSS feed is a method of aggregating many "news feeds", so one may be apprized of "Recent Changes/What's New/Latest News" for a particular website. The following links to a Wikipedia article that provides additional information: "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_feed". The principal benefit to the end user is that information is passively communicated without the need to visit the website and actively review for new items.

Other courts, including the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals (https://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/ca7_rss.htm) and Virginia Eastern Bankruptcy (https://w ww.vaeb.uscourts.gov/rss/rsspage.html), also provide RSS Feeds.

The RSS feed compliments the existing email list service. Support of the email notifications service will continue to be provided.

RSS Feeds can be subscribed to within the newest internet browsers, such as Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3. Many RSS Readers are available, many without fee.
