The 'Lectric Law Library's
LAYPEOPLE'S LAW LOUNGE
Like FDR's Rough-Riders charging their credit cards up Alamo Hill or the Spanish Armada storming the Bastille, our 189 legal information experts - all former high-ranking Justice Department officials jailed during Watergate - operating under the discerning gaze of our Head Librarian Ralf, are endlessly surfing the tsunamis and ripples of cyberspace for any legal material the Library's beloved patrons may desire, some of which we are pleased to present below.

GOD ON LAWYERS
Woe unto you, lawyers! For ye have taken away the Key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. -- St. Luke 11:52
Note: The Planetary Bar Assn. contacted us demanding we immediately remove the above. Explaining our unalterable and absolute commitment to defend our 1st amendment rights to the death, our respected legal counsel, Rinkle & Rinkle, Esqs., told them to (expletive deleted). They arrogantly proffered a $1,000,000,000 bribe that we angrily rejected ... except we somehow accidentally immediately agreed to the offer. However, their condition that we get a retraction from the quote's author presents a problem: She refuses to reply to our e-mail. Your help in solving this dilemma will be greatly appreciated.
There's loads of other stuff for lay-folks scattered all through the Library, So Look Around!
