'Lectric Law Library
National Legal Research Group has been
consistently good when I have asked them to research on various topics, from
agency to zoning. Go to the link to find their main office, which is the one I
have used. They also have a southwest division located in Blanco, Texas,
phone 1/888/780-8975 for a cost estimate. (Blanco is a charming town, not
a place you will find on the map, but the barbeque in the towns around is good,
and the river is a relaxing place to float.
If you want a "user friendly" law resources site, we
definitely recommend you start with
www.OneBigBlawg.com It is a
free resource for lawyers, designed as a knowledge management site for
attorneys. OneBigBlawg
combines jurisdiction-specific legal research and reference forms and
tools, and an attorney collaboration interface. For good measure it even
includes local bar events and announcements, all at one site.
OneBigBlawg offers all of its information
with both state-by-state and national searchability. Tip: there are
interactive discussion forums, allowing attorney visitors to post questions,
advice and practice tips, which are automatically archived in a key-word
searchable index.
