I've been looking like this for a long time. It would be perfect for a knowledge base of documents. You could have contracts sorted by subject matter, torts, procedural rules, what have you. Recalls wandering in the stacks to find book

A dispute is one thing. A chargeback another. My understanding is that under Visa/MC rules, a chargeback must be given effect. That comes from testimony given by a Visa security officer in a criminal case. If that is not true, I'
