While the Internet with its wealth of information is a good place to conduct basic research it is NOT ideal for in-depth thorough legal research. It is the responsibility of each user to establish the validity, integrity, and reliability of information found on the Internet.
However, the Internet can be useful for locating some types of legal information such as current legal documents. It is important that the legal researcher use authoritative / reliable Web sites for locating legal information and documents. Although the Web pages listed here have been selected by a skilled reference librarian, the individual researcher is responsible for evaluating the Web pages.
