Guide to free online legal and legislative resources

Abstract

This paper presents a guide to free online legislative and legal resources for non‐law librarians. Due to the efforts of the federal and state governments, in addition to the efforts of law school librarians, a wealth of resources has been collected and made available through the Internet on the World Wide Web. This is an excellent time for librarians in public and academic libraries without large law and government collections to take advantage of these new resources. This guide attempts to identify specific resources, show the scope of materials available, and discuss which sites offer extra features that enhance their usefulness. Some sites with good collections of historic and primary resources are also included.
