InSITE highlights selected law-related World Wide Web sites in two ways: as an annotated
publication issued electronically and in print; and as a keyword-searchable database.
The law librarians at
Cornell evaluate potentially useful Web sites, select the most valuable ones, and provide
commentary and subject access to them. These information can be accessed as following:

-
Applicable Law (Conflicts)
URL: http://ra.irv.uit.no/trade_law/nav/conflicts.html
-
This page brings together the full text of four major conventions
regarding private international law:
Convention on the Law Applicable to International Sales of Goods,
Convention on the Law
Applicable to Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, EC
Convention on the Law Applicable
to Contractual Obligations, and Convention on the Law Applicable to
Agency. This is part of the
International Trade Law site, which is hosted by the University of
Tromsø Law Faculty in Norway.
Documents are well-organized and easy to browse online.

Arizona Administrative Code
-
URL: http://www.sosaz.com/Rules_and_Regulations.htm
-
This site is the initial effort to mount the Arizona Administrative
Code on a website. The rules are
indexed under the 20 Titles which define the broad subject areas of the
Code. At present, the full
text of the rules published in Supp. 96-4 is available. Rules in future
supplements will be placed on
the Internet as those supplements are published. The retroactive
addition of rules published in Supps.
96-3, 96-2, and 96-1 is also planned. The site provides for the
ordering of the official version
(paper copy) of any rules from the Secretary of State's Office.

CLA Home Page
-
URL: http://cla.org
-
Maintained by the law firm of Davis & Schroeder, in Monterey,
California, this is the home page of
the Computer Law Association (CLA), an international, non-profit
association, with members
currently from 44 countries. The members of the association are bound
by a common interest in the
legal and practical problems of attorneys and others working in and
with computer hardware,
software, and telecommunications businesses. Under the heading, "Recent
Case Developments" are
summaries of opinions dealing with Computer Law decided by Federal
district courts and Courts of
Appeals. There are also job listings for attorneys specializing in
Computer Law. Links abound to
sites dealing with General Electronics and Computer References (e.g.,
NTIS, Bell Laboratories),
Computer Law (US House of Representatives Internet Law Library),
General Law, Canadian Law
and Materials, and Other Sites of Interest (e.g., Better Business
Bureau, Social Security Benefits,
Internal Revenue Service).

Injustice Studies is a new international interdisciplinary journal that
will be published electronically.

published. They present a very
thoughtful editorial policy at this site, reflecting academic interest
in addressing the nature, politics,
and moral psychology of global and local issues of cruelty and
injustice. Subscriptions are free and

International Law and Human Right Through the Doddel Server
-
URL: http://doddel.cs.unimaas.nl/~ingelse/pot.htm
-
Maintained by Massimo Magagni at Bologna University, this site collects
the texts of treaties and
other documents dealing with International Law, Human Rights,
Prohibition of Torture, International
Criminal Law, International Organizations, European Law, and Law
(miscellaneous). Especially
useful are the scads of links to the home pages of international
organizations, including several
affliated with the UN. This site is an excellent starting point for
collecting specific documents dealing
with International Law, as well as obtaining information from and about
the bodies producing those
documents.
