BUS 305: Legal and Regulatory Environment
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.
