Note: The source directly confirms the founding date of August 30, 2020 (matching the claimed 2020-08). The post is published on that exact date and announces the launch of the Legal Priorities Project. The additional context about the idea originating at Harvard Law School in Fall 2018 is also confirmed in the source text.
