Findlaw (http://www.findlaw.com/) is a legal website tailored to
meet the needs of several different groups such as students,
corporate counsel, business, the public and legal professionals. Below are some
of the resources in Findlaw for Legal Professionals (http://lp.findlaw.com/?lid=LP_button).
- Cases & Codes (http://www.findlaw.com/casecode/) contains links to
resources for both federal and state codes, statutes, regulations and cases.
There are links to the Federal Register, the Code of Federal Regulations, the
United States Code, Supreme Court Opinions, U.S. Courts of Appeals and U.S.
Trial Courts. The state resources are listed under each state's name and
contain links to state courts, state court rules and state court opinions as
well as links to state representative bills under the heading of "Federal
Legislation."
- U.S. Federal Resources (http://www.findlaw.com/10fedgov/index.html) contains
links to resources in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches as well
as links to Executive Agencies, Independent Agencies and Quasi-Government

Justice, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and IGnet (Federal Inspectors
