[MOD. NOTE:  It appears that some preprint services have left COS.  See for example the EarthArXiv link in the posting below.  Does anyone else find it confusing that the COS preprints use the same suffix as the venerable Cornell arXiv?]

Today, we received the following statement from the LawArXiv Steering Committee with some additional details about what happened and plans for the future.

The Steering Committee made the decision to end our partnership with the Center for Open Science this fall after an intense period of evaluation. The demands of the legal research community did not align fully with what we were able to provide with COS, and therefore we saw limited use of the site. Coupled with the need for COS to start charging a fee for the service, we made the difficult decision to suspend LawArXiv as of the beginning of 2021. We are currently working with an Exploratory Committee to determine the need for LawArXiv and to carefully consider the features that would be necessary should we relaunch.
