Contents: LawZone is a general legal website aimed at lawyers working in the UK, a kind of upbeat legal newspaper. Current legal news of cases, pending bills, and developments in the law is informally reported. "CaseZone" provides news of current litigation and criminal cases; "PressZone" is a searchable file of news stories, not all law-related. Also offered are news of the British legal profession, IT developments, directories, and job notices. A learning forum posts announcements of CLE courses, and there are links to files of UK company data and other online legal resources, including downloadable accounting and human resources software for the law office. Although the website is rather busily laid out, it is frequently updated and would be a useful browsing resource for attorneys based in Britain.
