Major General Web Sites for U.S. Law

A number of web sites are good starting points for finding United States
law.  One of the main ones is Peter Krakaur's Praticing Attorney's Home
Page at http://www.legalethics.com/pa/index.html  Mr. Krakaur is an active
participant on the LAWSRC-L and NET-LAWYERS electronic discussion groups
and his web site includes links to selected legal resources on the
Internet of practical use to lawyers.  One can browse by subject
categories, views a detailed Site Index, and do a keyword search of the 
Home Page web site.  Each link is accompanied by brief descriptions
noting who provides the information, the dates of coverage, description 
of contents of the page, any costs involved (if fee-based), and other
relevant information.and search the web site, and the Home Page includes
brief descriptions of sites linked to.  The focus is on primary sources of
law.

The Practicing Attorney's Home Page has links to U.S. federal and
state court cases and statutes, news, directories, and agency web sites.
It includes web pages focusing on the following Practice Areas:  
Administrative, Admiralty, Alternative Dispute
Resolution/Arbitration, Antitrust, Banking, Bankruptcy, Civil
Rights, Commercial, Communications, Constitutional, Copyright, Corporate,
Criminal, Cyberspace, Disability, Environmental, Family,
Health, Immigration, Insurance, Intellectual Property, International,
Labor Law, Military, Patents/Trademarks, Product Liability/Tort, 
Professional Responsibility, Property, Securities, Tax, 
Trusts/Estates.  The Home Page also contains links to business and
financial resources on the Internet and reference sources such as
dictionaries, bookstores, library catalogs, statistics sources, experts,
travel and weather information, etc.

While the Practicing Attorney's Home Page is a well-organized guide 
to selected resources on the Internet for lawyers, FindLaw at
http://www.findlaw.com/ is more comprehensive and has links to many of 
the resources on the Internet that are useful for legal professionals.
FindLaw is arranged by the following major categories:  Legal Subject
Index, Law Schools, Professional Development, Legal Organizations, Law
Firms & Lawyers, Consultants & Experts, Directories, Laws:  Cases & Codes, 
U.S. Federal Government Resources, State Law Resources, Foreign &
International Resources, News & Reference, Legal Practice Materials,
LegalMinds - Community.  For each legal subject, the authors of FindLaw
generally include primary resources (constitutional provisions, cases,
statutes, codes, regulations), secondary resources (journals,
articles, newsletters, government documents and reports, mailing lists and
newsgroups, government agencies, organizations), and related FindLaw pages.

FindLaw has links to directories of attorneys, publishers, associations,
continuing legal education sites, forms, software, legal news sources, and
electronic discussion groups for lawyers (via its LegalMinds link).  One
can browse FindLaw by area of law practice, by type or source of
information needed, and by keyword.  One can search the FindLaw web site
by keyword or use LawCrawler to search the Internet for legal resources.
FindLaw is one of the more popular starting points for locating
United States law on the Internet.  Other useful legal research sites 
include:

     American Law Sources Online (ALSO)
     http://www.lawsource.com/also/
          Has links to U.S. federal and state court decisions,
          court rules, legislation and codes, regulations, city
          ordinances (municipal codes), forms, directories, and
          for U.S. territories, Canada, and Mexico.

     Government:  Law (Yahoo)
     http://www.yahoo.com/Government/Law/
          Includes links to hot cases and documents, and has similar
          coverage as FindLaw, but is not as comprehensive in some areas.
          Has a web site search feature.

     FedLaw (U.S. General Service Administration)
     http://www.legal.gsa.gov/
          Legal research site for federal lawyers and employees -
          intended to foster useful and cost-effective research on 
          the Internet.  Includes links to federal and state primary
          legal materials and government web sites.

     Legal Information Institute (Cornell University Law School)
     http://www.law.cornell.edu/#main_menus
          Includes links to Presidential documents (executive orders)
          in addition to federal and state case and statutory law,
          resources by legal topic, type, source, and sources for
          finding legal organizations, judges, lawyers, and academics.

     WashLaw Web (Washburn University School of Law)
     http://lawlib.wuacc.edu/
          In addition to fairly comprehensive links to law-related
          resources on the Internet, WashLaw includes archives to
          electronic discussion groups for lawyers.

     LawLink:  Selected Starting Points for Legal Research (American
     Bar Association)
     http://www.abanet.org/lawlink/home.html
          Has links to selected legal information sources on the 
          Internet, including SITE-TATION (a list for
          announcements of new Internet resources), other
          Internet research points for lawyers such as CataLaw,
          Law Journal Extra, Hieros Gamos, and general Internet help.

     Guide to Law OnLine:  United States (U.S. Law Library of Congress)
     http://lcweb2.loc.gov/glin/us.html
          Includes a link to an introduction to the American legal
          system in English, Spanish, and French, Native American
          resources, in addition to other U.S. law links.
     
     World Wide Web Virtual Library:  Law (Indiana University Law School)
     http://www.law.indiana.edu/law/v-lib/lawindex.html
          Includes links to Internet search tools and other comprehensive
          web sites for law.     

     The U.S. House of Representatives Internet Law Library
     http://law.house.gov/
          A site that looks very comprehensive, and can be useful
          for identifying hard to find legal materials.  But must
          be browsed as there is not web site search feature.

Federal Cases

One of the best sites for the full text of U.S. Supreme Court cases on the
Internet is FindLaw at http://www.findlaw.com/casecode/supreme.html
This page includes cases from 1893 to the present (starting with volume
150 of the _United States Reports_ (U.S.).  FindLaw has many different
access points for retrieving a particular case.  One can browse by
volume number of the _United States Reports_ or by the year 
of decision of the case.  One can also search by case citation
(__U.S.__), by names of the parties in the case, or by keyword to
retrieve a case.  This file of Supreme Court opinions is one of the most 
useful core legal resources on the Internet.  FindLaw also includes links
to selected current cases in the news, while another web site, Cornell
University Law School, has key historic Supreme Court decisions at
http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/cases/

There are other sites for finding the full text of Supreme Court opinions.
The University of Chicago Law School
Library has a guide to researching the United States Supreme Court that
provides links to these sites as well as to sources for written briefs
and oral arguments for cases, biographical and directory information
about the Justices, and books, news stories, and journal articles
commenting on the Court in
print, on legal databases, and on the Internet.  The URL is:

http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/LibInfo/Law/supreme.html

The U.S. Federal Courts Finder at Emory University Law School has links to
not only Supreme Court decisions, but also to sites containing decisions 
of all the federal circuit courts of appeal at
http://www.law.emory.edu/FEDCTS  The scope of coverage varies
for the federal circuits - some contain cases going back 
to 1990 and some only back to 1995 or 1996.  As for federal district
courts, very few of them have their cases online on the Internet.  Links 
to these courts and their decisions as well as to the federal
appellate courts are available at the Villanova Center for
Information Law and Policy at
http://www.vcilp.org/newhome/mainpages/usgovt.html
Villanova's "Federal Court Locator" is very similar to
Emory's "Finder" and includes a link to the Flite database which is a 
searchable archive of Supreme Court opinions from 1937 to 1975
(v.300 to v.422 of the U.S. Reports).

With the web sites above, it is possible to find the full text of federal
appellate court cases, and to a much lesser extent, federal district
court cases, on the Internet for the past five or so years.  Other
sites to check for cases include Court TV at http://www.courttv.com/
(hot cases in the news - can find complaints, briefs, verdicts,
court transcripts, oral arguments, etc.), Law Journal Extra at
http://www.ljx.com/, Counsel Connect (HotDocs at
http://www.counselconnect.com/ - subscription service), and Cornell
Law School's Notable Cases page.  One can also search the web sites of
the parties involved for copies of court documents, their attorneys or 
law firms, or related organizations, government agencies, or companies.  
Sometimes law firms, law schools, or legal associations or other
institutions specializing on a particular area of law might
collect cases on the topic at their web sites.  Also, 
search engines such as Altavista (http://www.altavista.digital.com/) or 
Internet catalogs such as Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com/) can also be
used to pinpoint web sites with the full texts of hard-to-find cases,
copies of complaints, briefs, etc.

For
older cases or more comprehensive databases of federal cases, one can use
fee-based services such as LEXIS (http://www.lexis-nexis.com/), WESTLAW
(http://www.westpub.com/westdoc/), VersusLaw (http://www.versuslaw.com/
- Supreme Court cases from 1900 to date; Federal circuit courts
vary - VersusLaw has cases back to 1930 for some circuits),
or LOIS (http://www.pita.com/ - federal circuit court cases from about
1971 to date).

To keep up with news on current cases, one can check legal news sites such
as Law Journal Extra's Supreme Court news page at
http://www.ljx.com/courthouse/supindex.html.  The National Law Journal, 
the New York Times, Washington Post, and Lawyers Weekly
(http://www.lweekly.com/) are other sources to check.  There is a special
page for tracking recent developments at FindLaw at
http://LegalNews.FindLaw.com/  Finally, there is a resource, soon to
be on the Internet, called the PACER U.S. Party/Case Index providing
court docket information for U.S. appellate, district, and bankruptcy 
cases.  More information is available on the PACER database at
http://www.llrx.com/extras/pacer.htm

One important step in American legal research is to determine if a case
found is still "good law" or has not been overruled.  The traditional
source used to check the current status of a case or history is Shepard's 
citators (http://www.shepards.com/) available in print, on CD-ROM, and
online on LEXIS and WESTLAW.  There is now a competing case citator
service called KeyCite available at
http://www.westgroup.com/keycite/  While there are costs to using
both services, Internet resources do not provide a better
alternative presently as the free full-text databases of federal case
law are not comprehensive enough to rely on for finding out if a case is 
still "good law".

Note that one can always use electronic discussion groups to find out
where on the Internet a case might be or find out the current status of a
case.  While that should not be the first option (the web sites mentioned
above should be checked first), asking for help in locating a case on a
list such as NET-LAWYERS can be very efficient.  The NET-LAWYERS is
for discussion of use of the Internet by lawyers and is a popular
list for asking:  Where on the Internet is...?  NET-LAWYERS has
over 2000 subscribers and is a useful legal research and
networking tool for lawyers active on the Internet.

Federal Constitution, Statutes, and Treaties

An annotated version of the United States Constitution is available at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/senate/constitution/index.html  This
is the electronic version of a major reference work called _The
Constitution of the United States of America:  Analysis and
Interpretation_ (1992 & Supplement 1996).  This source includes the
full text of the articles and amendments of the Constitution with commentary
and footnote references to cases construing the provisions, statutes, and
law journal articles.  The simple, unannotated text, of the U.S.
Constitution is available at Cornell Law School at
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/

For federal statutes and proposed legislation, the best source is GPO
Access.  There are several URLs for connecting to databases on GPO
Access:

http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aaces002.html
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dbsearch.html

GPO Access links to the full text of the current edition of the _United
States Code_ and enables searches by keyword and code section.  Statutes
in the _United States Code_ are also accessible via Cornell
(http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/) and at the United States House of
Representatives Internet Law Library (http://law.house.gov/usc.htm).
For the text of a federal statute, it is also possible to search web sites
that arrange legal materials by subject such as FindLaw or Law Journal
Extra.

Proposed legislation or bills are available via GPO Access as well
beginning with the 103rd session of the United States Congress
(1993-1994).  Bills are also searchable by bill number, sponsor name,
popular name or short title, topic, public/enacted law number, etc., at
the THOMAS Legislative
Information on the Internet web site at http://thomas.loc.gov/  THOMAS
also includes the full text of the Congressional Record (transcripts 
of floor debates), committee reports, and congressional staff directories.
GPO Access is the more extensive web site, however, as it has links not
only to legislative history documents, but also to the Budget of the
United States Government, the Code of Federal Regulations, Commerce
Business Daily, the Economic Report of the President, the Federal
Register, etc., and all these databases are keyword searchable.

GPO Access is also an excellent source for the text of recent treaties and
other international agreements of the United States from the 104th
Congress (1995-1996) to date.  These "treaty documents" are searchable by
keyword and by document number at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/cong006.html
The full text of bilateral and multilateral treaties to which the United
States is a party is available in a more comprehensive database (from 1946
to 1986) at the United Nations Treaty Database web site at
http://www.un.org/Depts/Treaty  The UN web site provides multiple access
points for these treaties.  The Multilaterals Project of the Fletcher
School of Law and Diplomacy includes selected treaties to which the United
States is a party at http://www.tufts.edu/fletcher/multilaterals.html
There is also the Private International Law Database of the U.S.
Department of State Office of the Legal Adviser for the text of Hague
Conventions at http://www.his.com/~pildb/

Sources for finding citations to U.S. treaties include the following:

_Treaties in Force:  A List of Treaties and Other International Agreements
of the United States in Force on January 1, 1996_ (PDF file)
http://www.acda.gov/state/

_Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-General Status As At
12 February 1998_
http://www.un.org/Depts/Treaty/

Oceana Publications, Inc. "Documents on Demand" (indexes over 8,000 U.S.
treaties in force as of 1989 and thereafter by subject and by treaty
number)
http://www.oceanalaw.com:80/docs.htm

For more information about finding United States treaties on the Internet,
one can consult the following research guides:

Locating U.S. Treaties (Underwood Law Library, Southern Methodist
University)
http://www.smu.edu:80/~law/resguide/treat-us.htm

Treaties (American Society of International Law Guide to Electronic
Resources for International Law)
http://www.asil.org/resource/treaty1.htm

Treaty Sources (University of Minnesota Law Library)
http://www.tc.umn.edu/nlhome/m516/hoffm019/iflr/TREATIES.htm

Federal Government

The full text of the _United States Government Manual_ (1997/98) is
available at GPO Access at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/aces/aaces002.html  This guides
includes background information about the various branches of the U.S.
government including any relevant legislative authority for the 
establishment of federal agencies and courts, names of staff
members, and contact information.  The branches of government also
have their own web sites.  The White House Virtual Library includes
the text of presidential documents such as executive orders,
speeches, statements, press releases, etc. at
http://www.whitehouse.gov/WH/html/library.html  The federal
judiciary has a site at http://www.uscourts.gov/.  And seemingly
every U.S. federal agency has a web site.  Villanova's Federal
Web Locator is a good starting point when looking for federal
administrative information:

http://www.law.vill.edu/Fed-Agency/fedwebloc.html

Agency web sites will have summaries of their rulings, information
about their rules and regulations, and contact information.  For
instance, weekly summaries of labor cases and indexes of decisions and 
orders are available at the National Labor Relations Board web site at 
http://www.nlrb.gov/  United State Patent and Trademark Office
reports, treaty documents, and guides are at http://www.uspto.gov/
Federal Communications Commission decisional material are at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Cable/Orders/  Investigative reports and
publications, news releases, petitions and complaints, bibliographies, and
links to Internet sites are at the International Trade Commission site
at http://www.usitc.gov/  Federal agencies will sometimes publish weekly
or daily news bulletins that one can subscribe to for notices of
agency actions.

Another type of resource for information about agency rule-making
activities and notices is the _Federal Register_.  This major daily
publication includes proposed and final federal agency regulations on a
variety of administrative law matters.  The _Federal Register_ and the
subject compilation of federal agency rules, the _Code of Federal
Regulations_, are both available via GPO Access.

State Law

Cornell University Law School has links to state constitutions, statutes,
cases, administrative information, legislative bulletins, and government
web sites at
http://www.law.cornell.edu/statutes.html#state  This includes links to 
city ordinances (municipal codes) at
http://www.spl.lib.wa.us/collec/lawcoll/database.html and
http://www.municode.com/municode.html.  Cornell's "State Law"
page also has links to several sites for the full text of uniform
acts and model laws such as the Uniform Commercial Code.  The best site
for
obtaining drafts and final texts of these laws promulgated by the National
Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws is the University of
Pennsylvania at http://www.law.upenn.edu/library/ulc/ulc.html  New
developments on uniform laws including state enactments can also be
tracked using electronic discussion groups such as UCCLAW-L and LNET-LLC.
Other useful web sites for finding state legal documents include ALSO
(http://www.lawsources.com/also/) and Villanova (the "State Court Locator" 
and "State Web Locator" at
http://www.vcilp.org/newhome/mainpages/usgovt.html  One can sometimes
locate web sites focusing on the law of a particular state created by
practitioners in that state, law schools, etc.  One of the best such
sites is "The Arizona Lawyer's Guide to the Internet" at
http://www.aztarnet.com/~frey/ which is also a very good general guide to
U.S. legal resources.

Books and Articles

Books are generally not available in full text on the Internet, but it is
possible to identify useful books on a legal topic one is researching by
using library catalogs.  They are mostly accessible using the telnet
application, but library catalogs are becoming increasingly more
user-friendly as more and more libraries use web-based interfaces for
their catalogs.  Links to online publicly-accessible catalogs (OPACs)
worldwide are available via the Hytelnet service at
http://library.usask.ca/hytelnet/  U.S. law libraries are specifically at
http://library.usask.ca/hytelnet/us0/us000law.html If your web browser is
not configured to launch the telnet application, you can use web-based
catalogs such as webCATS at http://library.usask.ca/hywebcat/ or
http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/.  

For American law books, it is probably more efficient to focus on
searching the catalogs of the major research libraries such as the U.S.
Library of Congress at http://lcweb.loc.gov/homepage/online.html, Harvard
University at telnet://hollis.harvard.edu/, or Georgetown Unversity Law
Library at http://gull.ll.georgetown.edu/.  You can search these
library catalogs for books by author, title, subject, keyword in multiple
fields, etc.  Access to these catalogs enable the research to verify
information such as publisher, date and place of publication, ISBN
number in order to determine what the most recent edition is and who to 
order the book from.

Links to web sites of U.S. legal publishers are at AcqWeb at
http://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/law/acqs/pubr/law.html  There is, for
instance, the West Group at http://www.westgroup.com/ for catalogs of
American law casebooks, hornbooks, and nutshells.   A current list of
"families" of legal publishers is available
at http://www.colorado.edu/Law/lawlib/ts/legpub.htm  And U.S. publishers
generally can be found at http://www.lights.com/publisher/us.html
You can order books directly for the publisher's web site, and also
browse and search through their catalogs of publications online on the
Internet.  There are also sites such as Amazon.com, "earth's biggest
bookstore", which facilitate electronic ordering of books.

Relatively few print law journals are on the Internet.  Those that are
might provide tables of contents, abstracts, or indexes to their articles,
but full texts of articles are rare (unless the journal is an online one
to begin with).  And the database does not go back very far - you will not
find articles more than five years old or so on the Internet as a
general rule.  Good sites for identifying many of the law journals
that have web sites are the University Law Review 
Project at http://www.lawreview.org/, a FindLaw service, and
http://www.hg.org/journals.html at the Hieros Gamos web site.  A handy
list of law journals with addresses is the annual _Directory of
Law Reviews and Scholarly Legal Periodicals_ at
http://www.andersonpublishing.com/lawschool/directory/directory.html.

While law journal articles can be found on the Internet at the web sites
above and by using Internet search engines, a very useful table of
contents service for law and other journal articles exists called UnCover
which can be searched for free on the Internet:  http://uncweb.carl.org/

UnCover is a "current awareness and document delivery service" which
indexes over 17,000 multidisciplinary journals since 1988.  The UnCover
database contains the tables of contents of these journals and it is
possiblel to browse individual issues of the journals or search for
jouranl articles by keyword or author name.  It is not necessary to
set up a user profile or password to use UnCover (you can click 
on "Search UnCover Now" until you are able to enter a search).  Once you
have found the journal article you are looking for, you can check to see
if your library has the journal or order the article for a fee via the
UnCover service.  UnCover is free to search, but it costs to order copies of the
articles found.  

Some United States libraries have document delivery
services which may be cheaper than UnCover.  You can identify if a library
owns a particular journal title by searching their online catalogs and you
can find more information about their copy services via their web sites
(links to law library web sites are at http://www.aallnet.org/ and
http://lawlib.wuacc.edu/).  Sometimes, subscribers to lists can be helpful
with suggestions on how to obtain copies of needed law journal articles as well.

Practice Resources

The texts of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of
Evidence, as well as U.S. Supreme Court Rules, are available at Cornell's
Legal Information Institute at http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/  Law
Journal Extra at http://www.ljx.com/ also has links to court rules.  While
forms can sometimes be found in court rules, there are two sites with
major collections of forms - the Internet Legal Resource Guide at
http://www.ilrg.com/forms/ and FindLaw at
http://www.findlaw.com/16forms/index.html

There are also professional development resources on the Internet such as
continuing legal education (CLE) seminars.  One can also find publishers
of CLE materials on the Internet such as Practising Law Institute.  PLI
publishes annual course handbooks on commercial law, intellectual
property, estates and trusts, etc., and is available at
http://www.pli.edu/  

Directories

Directories of attorneys, law firms, legal organizations, etc., are on the
Internet as well.  The major ones are West's Legal Directory at
http://www.wld.com/ and the Martindale-Hubbell Lawyer Locator at
http://www.martindale.com/  Directories of law professors, law schools,
librarians, publishers, etc., also exist.  A useful page linking many
of the best directories is at the University of Chicago at
http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/LibInfo/Law/directory.html.  And FindLaw
will also have helpful links.  One can always also go directly to an
organizational or institutional web site for directory information - for 
instance, the American Bar Association at http://www.abanet.org/ (the
ABA also has a page of handy law-related links).

Discussion Groups

One of the most powerful legal research tools on the Internet is the
electronic discussion group or distribution list.  Subscribing to lists
can help on track down elusive documents, monitor new developments in a
particular area of law practice, get suggestions and recommendations on 
new technology, and network with colleagues around the world.  There is
seemingly a list for every type of legal professional, on almost every
legal topic, and on any jurisdiction in the world.  The best list for
attorneys to subscribe to is the NET-LAWYERS list.  

NET-LAWYERS is a moderated list for discussion of lawyers' use of the
Internet and is useful for finding information about law-related
resources on the Internet.  There are presently over 2000
subscribers from various countries on the NET-LAWYERS
list.  Subscription to NET-LAWYERS is open to lawyers, librarians,
law professors, paralegals, law students, and others interested in law to 
discuss issues related to the use of the Internet in the study, practice,
development, and marketing of law.  

To subscribe to the NET-LAWYERS list, one would send the following message
to listserv@peach.ease.lsoft.com:

     subscribe net-lawyers [Your Name]

For example, Mr. Makoto Ibusuki would send the message:

     subscribe net-lawyers Makoto Ibusuki

You can leave the subject line/block blank when sending the subscription
command to the listserv address.  

Within minutes, you will receive a message from the listserv indicating
that you are now a subscriber to the list.  The message will usually
include information on how to unsubscribe or receive help in using the
list.  It is a very good idea to keep these instructions.

NET-LAWYERS is archived at http://eva.dc.lsoft.com/Archives/net-lawyers.html
and http://www.legalminds.org/listsaver/net-lawyers/ so it is possible to 
monitor discussion on this list without subscribing to it.

Many other lists for lawyers are hosted by Washburn University School of
Law.  Instructions for subscribing to these discussion groups, and their
archives, are at http://lawlib.wuacc.edu/washlaw/listserv.html  For a
fairly comprehensive list of other law-related lists, use Lyo's Law Lists
at:

http://www.lib.uchicagoe.edu/~llou/lawlists/info.html

This guide includes lists in alphabetical order by title, as well as
Usenet newsgroups (similar to lists).  The guide also has a
a keyword search page at:

http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/law-lists

Other useful guides to lists include:

Regent University (topical list of law lists)
http://www.regent.edu/lawlib/lists/list-law.html

LegalMinds (FindLaw's list and archives of law list messages)
http://www.legalminds.org/

listTool (LawGuru.com's Legal Mailing List Manager - enables web-based
subscriptions to various lists for lawyers)
http://www.lawguru.com/subscribe/listtool.html

discussion and dissemination of legal information, though there are very
few law-related newsgroups)
