Legal researchers spend a lot of time researching government laws and regulations.
Now the United States and state governments have started putting this information on their Web sites. However, the Web is not the best place to search for government laws and regulations. In this article I address only Web sites that offer free information. The most current version of the U.S. Code is found on the U.S. House of Representatives' Web site, but it is not as current as that found on Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis. This type of disclaimer is common.
