Description
The law library of the future is
already here! This down-to-earth, practical guide (written
from the perspective of a working attorney) takes the
problem-solving steps that lawyers already use and shows
how-and where-to do them on the Internet. It zeroes in on the
best sites, sources, and techniques for finding cases,
statutes, regulations, legislative history, government forms,
public records, other attorneys, experts, and more.
It
identifies the governments and agencies that accept online
communication-not to mention filings-and lists research sites,
legal news sources, and general reference aids.
It also
demystifies search engines and other Internet tools and
recommends hundreds of Web sites for both legal and general
research problems.
Includes a
painless crash course on using e-mail and news groups and
maximizing the efficient use of web browsers. "The
Lawyer's Guide to Internet Research" is a pioneering book
that leads lawyers, paralegals, legal assistants, and students
through the transition from traditional to Internet research,
and teaches them how to use the Internet to do the same work
that they have been doing for years in their offices and
libraries.
This is one of the best guides to
Internet legal research available. The authors are both regular
columnists for the respected LLRX.com web site, and their
experience and good judgment shine through on every page. Highly
recommended.
