Law

People look for legal information on the Internet for a variety of reasons:

  • They are having a minor legal problem, and want to know their rights or responsibilities.
  • They are students with an assignment to study a particular law or case, or to observe the legal process.
  • They want to take advantage of the “do-it-yourself” legal movement for bankruptcy, dissolution of marriage, or small claims court.

These pages offer a variety of sources for state and federal statutory, regulation, and case law.
