I've created a Legal History starter pack as I don't think anyone else has and it seems like the type of thing we should have. I'm sure I missed people (apologies!), so hit me up if I have: go.bsky.app/XJxJpA

A niche starter pack in the making. Hit me up with any suggestions & requests. go.bsky.app/RqAEVau
