White Paper

Finding the Law on the Internet, Federal and State Materials

 
“The most basic form of organization for primary legal documents on the web is by jurisdiction. Virtually every federal governmental entity has a web presence. Every state has a web site. Every major municipality has a web site, as do a large number of small communities. The web is no longer exotic territory even to small governmental units. The variety of materials—cases, laws, administrative documents, etc. - depends on the creativity of the entity. The trend is to place at least heavily requested documents online. The advantage to governments is that it cuts down on the amount of printed copies while still widely disseminating information to the public. An experienced researcher develops the knowledge of what types of documents will likely be available at sites representing different levels of government.”
