Internet Search Tools

Here are some internet search tools that we find useful. The search tools are divided into 4 categories:

law-specific internet search sites
directories
search engines, and
parallel searching tools.

The law-specific internet search sites are sites that allow you to browse only legal information on the internet. The remaining 3 categories allow you to search any subject. The directories outline subject areas on the internet using a list approach, while the search engines search the internet using key terms. The parallel searching tools allow you to run a search on more than one search engine at a time.

Law-specific Internet Search Sites:

Findlaw
LawCrawler
Law Engine
Rominger Legal--free and fee-based links
