As founder and president of Internet For Lawyers, I conduct in-house training at law firms to teach legal professionals how to find free legal, business and investigative information on the Internet. I also make outside presentations to trade associations (from bar associations to law librarian associations to legal administrators associations) and speak at law/ technology conferences besides designing and staging my own seminars. Because of the nature of my business, I have to keep up with the ever changing Internet world and am constantly online testing out and evaluating different web sites to update my presentations and my books. My surfing philosophy is, DON'T! Instead, find one or two law-related portals (see FindLaw below) and a few law related meta-sites (that organize legal web sites into subject directories and provide links to those sites, such as Cornell LII noted below) and stick with these. Why bother surfing the web to locate material, when someone else (most likely an attorney or law librarian) has already tested out law-related web sites, evaluated them and deems them to be current, reliable and comprehensive. My favorite search engine, if I must use one at all is Lawcrawler because it surfs law-related sites only, cutting down the number of irrelevant hits and the sheer volume of hits that a more general search engine will return. |
