The guide to law provides access to reliable and useful resources about government and the law. Emphasis is placed on sites providing full texts of laws, regulations, and court decisions, as well as commentary from lawyers writing primarily for other lawyers. However, sources with broader legal content have also been included. Every direct source was successfully tested before inclusion in the guide. The guide is updated periodically. If you find a link that is no longer valid, please let us know.

The legal guides are written by experienced attorneys who write about specific legal topics using easy to understand language. They provide answers to Frequently Asked Questions about specific areas of law. You can browse the legal categories below or search for a topic using the search box in our navigation.

This guide is designed to help students at all levels of their law school careers navigate the complexities of law school life and to introduce them to the tools they need to conduct research online. It addresses such issues as participating in class, studying for and taking exams, engaging in extracurricular activities, getting involved in the community, and staying healthy during law school.
