Finding Legal Information on the Web
Abstract
Finding legal materials on the World Wide Web can be a daunting task, unless one knows where to look. Please note: Due to the ever changing nature of the Internet, some of the Universal Resource Locators (URLs) may no longer be valid.
WARNING:
Few things can be more potentially dangerous than inaccurate legal information. The law changes constantly, and very few states guarantee the accuracy, currency, or relevance of material found on the Web. Before relying on the Web as a source of legal information, especially for primary materials such as case law or statutes, its accuracy should be confirmed. The authoritative source is responsible for putting the information on the Web.While the Web should not, in most cases, be considered the final arbiter in answering legal questions, it can be an invaluable starting point for legal research.
