INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES, LINKS DIRECTORY
After years of legal research and transcription, I have learned one thing... "Why is it that you can never find the proper search engine or legal site when you need it most?"
I am known as an avid internet research junkie. As a result, I have many legal secretaries, paralegals and other clients or friends constantly calling me to ask how and/or where they can locate this or that on the internet.
Well, in an attempt to list my favorite and most convenient and/or often used search engines and legal sites in one easy to access location, I decided to prepare and provide my clients with what I hope will prove to be your favorite and most useful internet links directory. Be sure to scroll down, since the links are listed by categories, with general search engines at the top and specialized and legal search engine links listed lower on the page.
I strongly suggest that you mark this page as one of your favorites, so you can easily return to it over and over as the need arises! Be sure to check back occasionally, since the page will be updated.
