Contents: LawInfo is designed as an all-purpose legal resource for both the public and professionals. In the public area, the "legal resource center" section presents answers to frequently-asked legal questions, forms, and a legal dictionary. The FAQs can be selected by keyword, state, or topic, ranging from the general (environmental law) to the specific (DUI, bail). The explanations of law and practice are very extensive and informative, and are possibly the most useful contribution to the website. The other principal content of the site are databases which list attorneys by practice area, by telephone area code, city, state, or zip code, while the professional section of the site lists expert witnesses, court reporters, process servers, forensic specialists, private investigators, and other legal support, as well as a law firms; however, users will be far better served by consulting the yellow pages, as only a smattering of legal practitioners is included (e.g., just one trial law firm is listed for Manhattan).
