David Merrill is a prolific law researcher, writer and contributor on many blogs and internet forums. His research deals with complicated questions of common law, admiralty law, commerce and banking. He did significant research in the 1990's which found its way into Are You Lost At C?, a report that circulated on the web for some time and is regarded by many as a work of invaluable research in spite of its imperfections.

In 2008, he produced two videos that caught the attention of our editorial staff. The issue of lawful money is baffling to the many and over-stood by the few largely because of poor teaching methods. Mr. Merrill's approach was clear and enlightening, to-the-point and deserving of immediate transcription.
