For law school institutional repositories, this is HUGE news.

This really might be an amazing opportunity for projects like Dspace.  If 
the platform was able to match what BePress has been doing with law 
reviews/journals I think you'd see lots of law schools moving from Digital 
Commons to Dspace simply out of principle.  Elsevier purchased SSRN (the 
hosting platform for social science working papers) last year so this 
recent acquisition is going to scare a lot of librarians and IR 
administrators working in legal education.  

Just an FYI,

David
