What Are the Best Sites for Legal Research?

One of the best sites for legal research is Nolo.com. At the Web site, you can do legal research by topic in one of Nolo’s Law Centers, or research through one of Nolo’s features, which include:

• Nolo’s Legal Encyclopedia with articles on legal topics in an easy to understand style,
• Ask Auntie Nolo with questions and answers on a wide variety of legal topics,
• Nolo’s Law Dictionary,

Findlaw.com is another Web site for free legal research. The Home Page is divided into sections according to who will be doing the research: For the Public, for Business, for Students, for Legal Professionals, and for Corporate Counsel. You can go directly to CaseCode, its section for researching cases and statutes.
