For Law Students
A Collection of Legal Resources
Here's a collection of legal resources that were distributed on paper(!) in my legal writing course. Since they are all web resources, I thought it made more sense to, um, have them on-line, so in my copious amounts of spare time, I created this page. I recategorized the list and removed the dead link. This list is by no means exhaustive, it's just meant to be a good start. If you have a resource to add to this page, please just send me an e-mail.
