At its core is an index of resources in more than 30 practice areas as well as case law, codes, associations, and law reviews. Beyond the index is LawCrawler, an innovative legal search engine. A growing library of court opinions and statutes features the Web's most extensive set of Supreme Court opinions. When selected last year as best caselaw research site, this was a free library called Lawyers Legal Research. It is no longer free, and has a new name and look, but once again, our judges chose it as best.
Newcomers get a free trial.
The winner of our Best Legal Information Starting Point is also our judges' pick for best overall legal research site, thanks to its extensive index, its innovative search engine, its legal discussion archives and its library of court opinions. From the publishers of the National Law Journal, LJX provides one-stop access to a variety of resources, from news to research, from legal memoranda to technology reviews, with more than 34 sections devoted to specific practice areas. A recent merger with Counsel Connect will combine the two services during 1998. It features searchable databases of executive and legislative material, including the U.S. Code, and is home to the Federal Bulletin Board, a collection of more than 4,500 federal documents. CILP is a joint project of Villanova University School of Law and the Chicago-Kent College of Law.
