how does LawLinks work and what does it cover?
LawLinks
consolidates links from a variety of Internet sources to create
an organised list of short-cuts to relevant legal materials. To
access these short-cuts, you simply click on the heading on the
main-menu screen which is most relevant to your search. This will
take you to a list of pre-searched web-site links on that subject.
You will see from the main-menu
screen that the index is divided into a number of areas. We
expect that the most useful of these will be the links appearing
under:
- Legal
resources -
which organises the short-cuts to a wide range of legal
resources under sub-headings such as
"legislation," "cases," "legal
publications," "law societies & bar
associations," etc.
- Legal
subjects
- obviously this
organises Internet links under a list of legal subjects. The more
'popular' legal subjects for legal research are noted on the main-menu screen
itself; links to more specialised legal subjects can be found by
clicking on the More legal subjects heading
- Search by jurisdiction - this provides a ready access
point to search for legal materials across the Internet
by using jurisdiction as the criterion.
For completeness, and to assist
with more obscure searches, we have also included links under the
following additional main headings:
- More legal
subjects - as already
noted, this contains links to further legal subjects
- More
law-related sites -
this includes some miscellaneous legal web links not
appearing elsewhere
- More legal
links sites
- this takes you
directly to a list of 'meta-sites' which you can use to
do more personalised legal searches
- WWW search
services - this is a quick point
of access into popular Internet search-engines such
as Google, Yahoo, Alta Vista, Lycos, etc, which you can use to do
Internet searches on any subject.
We hope that you
find this index both helpful and easy to use.
