Internet Resources

There are a great number of sites on the Internet with legal information in addition to the LexisNexis product cited above. In general, it's best to start an Internet hunt with compilations of sources rather than throwing a term into an Internet search engine. They aren't very sophisticated, and return lots of unrelated sources.
