More material such as this is becoming available from state court administrators. Some sites offer not only information on the courts but guides to the legal system, as well as instructions and forms for filing court actions. Links from general state homepages usually lead to descriptive information about each branch of government, including the courts. Some judiciary sites contain little information, but most explain the scope of each court's jurisdiction and provide historical and biographical information. Other documents, prepared by various private and governmental sources, include overviews of specific courts and guides to dozens of legal topics, such as adoption, employment discrimination, housing law, and estate planning.
Several collections provide access to state court Web sites.
Each of these sites provides links to state court systems and to individual courts throughout the country.
