February 23, 2007, Newsletter Issue #48: Where can I find court cases and do legal research on my own?

Tip of the Week

Because of the world of Internet technology, it is easier and faster than ever to obtain information with regard to just about any topic you desire. Legal libraries exist on university campuses and are generally open for public use with certain parameters.

However, because of the ease and convenience of Internet information, one can easily access information in an online or virtual legal library. Because Internet users can be virtually anywhere in the world, it is important to remember that information gathered be pertinent to where you live.

Some topics you can access in an online legal library would be multi-national laws, those pertaining to at least two different countries as well as laws and court decision in various countries pertinent to that particular country. Some court cases are sensitive in nature and thus the accessible online information may not fully disclose all details of a particular case.

However, with the use of the information superhighway, it is easier than ever for the average person to become nearly fully versed in laws at home and abroad.
