Foreword.
Welcome to The Legal List!
Lawyers Cooperative Publishing is happy to present version 6.0 of Erik Heels's
authoritative guide to law-related resources on the Internet. Our Technology
and Editorial departments have worked together to bring you this volume, and
we are very pleased with the results. We expect the majority of our clients to
be using the Internet in one form or another soon, and we want to be there to
provide for their legal research needs.
Since the last publication of The Legal List, the Internet has grown even
faster than the most optimistic projections had predicted. This growth has
been fueled in part by the increasing demand that government entities provide
primary law free of charge on the Internet. Erik has provided the novice
Internet user a vital roadmap to the numerous law-related government,
educational and corporate resources that already exist, as well as pointers to
resources that will exist.
We at LCP view the Internet as a logical evolutionary progression in the art
and science of legal research. Although Erik's book marks a significant step
in the fusion of legal research and technology, the evolution is not yet
complete. Legal resources continue to be added to the Internet, almost daily.
To keep The Legal List updated, LCP has established a WWW server and a mailing
list to inform our clients as new developments occur. To find out what LCP
Internet resources are available, send e-mail to info@lcp.com.
See you on the Net!

Chapter 0. Introduction to The Legal List.
This chapter gives an overview of The Legal List and of the Internet.
0.1. About This Book - What is The Legal List?
The Legal List is the short, historical, name of this book, The Legal List:
Internet Desk Reference. (The history of my self-published version is briefly
described below.) The purpose of The Legal List is to provide a consolidated
list of all of the law-related resources available on the Internet and
elsewhere. There are only two requirements for a resource to be listed in The
Legal List: 1) it must be law-related, and 2) it must be on the Internet. Of
course, there are exceptions to this rule. First, since The Legal List itself
is a law-related resource on the Internet, I list a few resources that do not
contain any Internet resource (e.g. only a USPS mailing address may be
provided). Second, a few bulletin board systems (BBSs) are included. Most
BBSs are accessible only via telephone, but more and more are becoming
accessible via the Internet as well. Third, most of the commercial online
services (such as Prodigy and America Online) have law-related resources that
are only accessible to service subscribers.
The Legal List was originally created in the summer of 1992 as I was preparing
to enter the University of Maine School of Law. Before I started law school,
I wanted to compile a list of law-related resources that I could use as a
legal research guide. I've been on the Internet since 1984, when I was a
freshman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and, through the
years, I have made a habit of jotting down noteworthy Internet-accessible
resources. In the summer of 1992, there were few law-related resources on the
Internet, and there was no comprehensive listing of these resources. With my
personal list of noteworthy Internet-accessible resources as a starting point,
I started to compile a separate list of law-related Internet-accessible
resources. I called this list my legal list. As I discussed with others what
I had been doing, they began to request copies of my list. In August, 1992, I
sent the first version of The Legal List via electronic mail (e-mail) to those
who had requested it. Since then, The Legal List has been updated
approximately every six months. What started as a relatively short list for
my own use has grown into the relatively large book you are now reading.
Today, The Legal List--or often TLL for short--is available as a paperback
book and as an ASCII text-only file. Details of how to get The Legal List are
included in Section 0.1.3. As the print-and-pay portion of the copyright
notice indicates, The Legal List is free on the Internet, but it costs if you
print it. I believe that this arrangement is consistent with the spirit of
providing free information on the Internet, while at the same time allowing
for a reasonable compensation from those who want the value-added benefit of
having a paper copy of The Legal List. I use both the paperback version and
the ASCII text-only version of The Legal List. If I want to find something in
the ASCII text-only version, I open the file with my word-processing software
and do a key-word search. With the paperback version, I look in the index.
0.1.1. Disclaimer.
I am committed to providing high-quality information, and as such, I have
tried to verify all of the information in The Legal List. If I have not been
able to verify a resource, I have indicated so. The appearance of any
resource in The Legal List does not constitute endorsement of approval of the
resource by the author, editors, and publisher of The Legal List. The author,
editor, and publisher of The Legal List have made reasonable efforts to
provide correct information, but the author, editor, and publisher cannot
guarantee the accuracy of the information in The Legal List. Updates,
additions, and corrections to The Legal List should be sent to legal-
list@lcp.com.
0.1.2. Organization of The Legal List.
The Legal List is primarily organized by the sponsoring organization of the
law-related resource. There are three main categories of sponsors: government
organizations (Chapter 2), educational institutions (Chapter 3), and
commercial organizations (Chapter 4). Resources that are sponsored primarily
by an individual, and not by the organization for which the individual works,
are included in Chapter 4, because it is often difficult to distinguish the
sole proprietor from the hobbyist.
Certain typographical conventions should also be pointed out. Items that
should be interpreted are listed in italics. For example, If I were
instructed to type your name, I would type Erik J. Heels. Uniform Resource
Locators (URLs) are listed for each Internet resource. I have followed the
draft RFC standard dated 03/94, which is available via anonymous FTP from
internic.net as /ftp/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-uri-
url-03.txt. The URL for the URL draft standard is
URL: ftp://internic.net/ftp/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-uri-url-03.txt
In general, the URL will be in the format of connection-
method://machine/path. In the above example, the connection-method is FTP,
the machine is internic.net, and the path is /ftp/internet-
drafts/draft-ietf-uri-url-03.txt. In this example, the final part of the path
name contains the file name, draft-ietf-uri-url-03.txt, but not all URLs
contain file names.
The following is a chapter summary of The Legal List:
Chapter 1. Talk, Talk, Talk. This chapter describes law-related listserv
lists, Usenet newsgroups, BBSs, and online services. Listserv lists are like
magazines in that one can subscribe and unsubscribe. There are lists for a
wide range of law-related interests such as intellectual property (CNI-
Copyright), fathers rights (FREE-L), and issues of interest to law students
(LawSch-L). Usenet is the news network that is intertwined with, but
independent from, the Internet.
Chapter 2. Government Organizations. This chapter describes law-related
resources made available by US government organizations. An organization in
this chapter would most likely have a domain name ending in .gov (government).
This chapter is divided into two sub-sections: 1) US Federal Government
Organizations and 2) US State Government Organizations.
Chapter 3. Educational Institutions. This chapter describes law-related
resources made available by US educational institutions. An organization in
this chapter would most likely have a domain name ending in .edu (education).
This chapter is divided into two sub-sections: 1) US law schools, 2) other US
educational institutions.
Chapter 4. Corporations and Organizations. This chapter describes law-
related resources made available by for-profit, nonprofit, and not-for-
profit corporations and organizations. An organization in this chapter would
most likely have a domain name ending in .com (commercial) or .org
(organization). Law firms are listed separately--sorted by the state (or
country) of their main office. This chapter also includes resources primarily
made available by individuals rather than by an organizations, governments, or
educational institutions.
Chapter 5. Non-US Resources. This chapter describes law-related resources
made available by non-US organizations, governments, and educational
institutions including those made available by the United Nations.
Appendix A. More About the Internet. This appendix contains, for example,
information about Internet account and domain providers.

The InterNIC.
The Legal List is one of many resources officially documented by the InterNIC
Directory and Database Services maintained by the NSF Network Systems Center
(NNSC) under a contract with AT&T. The Internet Resource Guide (IRG)
(formerly compiled and maintained by BBN, Inc., for the NNSC) has been moved
to the Directory of Directories provided by the InterNIC Directory and
Database Services. In previous versions of The Legal List, I wrote [t]he
[IRG] is invaluable, and everyone with a serious interest in the Internet
should maintain a copy. The NNSC's stated goal is to expose users to those
facilities that will help them do their work better. (Internet Resource
Guide, Introduction, dated 16 Apr 90.) I wholeheartedly agree with this goal.
Although the IRG in its 1990-form is being discontinued, the entries have been
incorporated into the NNSC's new Directory of Directories. The Directory of
Directories should prove to be an invaluable resource.

0.2. About the Internet - A Brief Primer on the Internet.
In the last few years, the Internet has become more user-friendly. Today, it
can be a practical tool for the legal professional.
0.2.1. What Is the Internet?
A computer network is simply two or more computers connected by wires.
Computer networks allow interconnected users to share printers and files.
When one network is connected with another, a internet (lowercase i) is
formed. The Internet (uppercase I) is the international network of
interconnected computer networks. Buzzwords like the information
superhighway, cyberspace, and the national information infrastructure, which
may be nicknames for the Internet or planned government or industry
initiatives, are not helpful to understanding what the Internet is. Estimates
of the number of individuals on the Internet vary widely, but it is safe to
say that there are probably 50 million users worldwide. This makes the
Internet the worlds second-largest communication network, after the telephone
network.
The Internet and the telephone network are not mutually-exclusive--many of the
computers on the Internet are connected by various types of phone lines. Like
the telephone network, it matters less to the end user how the technology
works, and more how to use the technology. A notable difference between the
Internet and the telephone network is that electronic mail (e-mail) sent to
users outside of ones home country typically costs the same (at least for the
end user) as e-mail sent to users within ones home country. As a result,
individuals from all over the world can meet on the Internet in virtual
communities, communities whose existence is fueled by low-cost Internet
access.
Like any other community, the Internet has rules of etiquette called
netiquette. A quick summary of the rules of etiquette: Never say anything in
an e-mail message (or a news posting) that you wouldn't say to the recipients
face or that you wouldn't say in a long-distance phone call (i.e. realize
that some users pay for incoming e-mail). The power to send e-mail--
essentially instantly--to anyone in the world is great, and it should be
understood.
0.2.2. Internet History - From Research to Prime Time.
The Internet grew out ARPAnet (formed in 1969 as a product of the Advanced
Research Project Agency), a network of government computers connected so that
they could exchange information and use each others programs. ARPAnet was
later discontinued, but other networks (primarily government and educational)
had been formed and interconnected, and the resulting network of networks has
come to be known as the Internet. The networks that are part of the Internet
speak the same language, the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol) protocols. Some of the computers on these networks themselves use
the TCP/IP protocols (most notably UNIX-based computers) while others (for
example, the computers that comprise the commercial online services such as
CompuServe, America Online, and Delphi; as well as those computers on BITNET
and UUCP networks) do not but are still able to use some TCP/IP protocols via
gateways.
In 1992, two significant events occurred. First, many of the restrictions on
commercial use of the Internet were relaxed. Much of the Internet's traffic
shifted from the National Science Foundations NSFNet backbone to commercial
networks (such as the Commercial Internet Exchange, CIX). Second, and perhaps
more significantly, we had a vice presidential candidate who had heard of the
Internet--and who was interested in its potential. These two events resulted
in a tremendous amount of coverage of the Internet in the popular press. In
fact in 1993, there were more references to the Internet in The New York Times
than in all previous years combined! And the trend is continuing.
0.2.3. How to Get On the Internet.
As more people get on the Internet, fewer people will be able to ignore the
Internet. Do you remember when you added your fax number to your business
card? It may not be long until you add your Internet e-mail address as well.
For those lawyers who want to communicate with their clients via the Internet
(because there surely will be clients who want to do so) or who want to shape
the future of the law of the Internet, now is the time to get on. Here's how.
0.2.3.1. Commercial Online Services.
The quickest way to get on the Internet is to get an account on one of the
commercial online services. Currently, the five largest national commercial
online services are Prodigy, CompuServe, America Online, GEnie, and Delphi.
Also, there are online services tailored specifically for the legal
professional (such as Lexis Counsel Connect and Law Journal Extra). All of
these services offer Internet e-mail, and several offer other Internet tools
(discussed further below). Also, many offer free trial periods and home-
access software (much like the Lexis and Westlaw software that you may already
have). Call and ask for details (see the Appendix for addresses and phone
numbers of commercial online services). For about $10-20 per month, you can
ask questions and electronically look over peoples shoulders to learn about
the Internet.
0.2.3.2. Reading about the Internet.
Once you are on the Internet, it is relatively easy to find out more about the
Internet itself. Your Internet provider most likely has Internet-related
information available online.
One source of information about the Internet available from numerous sites on
the Internet is the Request For Comments (RFCs). The RFCs were originally
electronic documents that were circulated for comments and that described a
new protocol that was needed to help the computers connected to the Internet
work together more effectively. Today, these documents are still referred to
as RFCs because each is open for comment and subject change as the Internet
evolves.
Certain RFCs have remained unchanged for long periods of time and have become
Internet standards. In addition to documenting standard protocols, the RFCs
document the history of the Internet since 1969 and provide help and
information for new Internet users.
To receive introductory information on the Internet via e-mail, send a message
with document-by-name rfc1594 in the body of the message to
mailserv@ds.internic.net. You will receive RFC number 1594, Questions and
Answers for New Internet Users. To receive an index of RFCs (there are about
1,800), include document-by-name rfc-index in the text of your message. The
RFCs can be a road map (or a treasure map) for you if you enjoy exploring in
this manner.
If you'd rather have books by your side before you get on the Internet, you
might want to get Brendan P. Kehoe's Zen and the Art of the Internet: A
Beginners Guide to the Internet (Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ), which
is a brief, well-written, easy-to-read overview of the Internet. Also, you
might want to pick up a copy of Ed Krol's The Whole Internet Users Guide and
Catalog, Second Edition (O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., Sabastopol, CA), which
is a comprehensive and clear guide to the Internet and is considered essential
for new Internet users. Finally to learn more about netiquette, read Virginia
Shea's Netiquette (Albion Books, San Francisco, CA), which documents the
formerly-unwritten rules of Internet etiquette.
0.2.3.3. Beyond Dial-In Accounts.
Consider registering your own Internet domain name (the part of an e-
mail address to the right of the @ sign), rather than just having an
individual account (the part of an e-mail address to the left of the @ sign)
on somebody else's machine. This is more expensive than simply purchasing an
account with a commercial online service, but there are inexpensive options
(such as asynchronous dial-up PPP (Point to Point Protocol) and UUCP (Unix to
Unix Copy Protocol) accounts), and you will gain flexibility and control. For
example, you could set up your own FTP server, and your e-mail address would
be yourname@your-company.com rather than yourname@somewhere-else.com. See the
Appendix for a listing of some Internet domain providers.
0.2.4. A Brief Primer on Some Internet Tools.
There are five Internet tools that you may want to use in your research: e-
mail, FTP, Gopher, WWW, and WAIS. (Also, you may want to try a local BBS.)
There is nothing magic about these tools--they are simply computer programs
(like WordPerfect) that implement standard sets of rules, called protocols.
(For example, using control-V for paste is a protocol on Macintosh computer
systems.) No matter what computer you use (whether a Macintosh, a DOS-based
computer, minicomputer, or mainframe computer) these tools should all work
essentially the same way.
0.2.4.1. Electronic Mail (E-mail) Overview.
E-mail is a tool that allows one user on the Internet to send a message to
another user on the Internet. An e-mail message may contain text or pictures
and sound encoded as text, but most often it is plain text. The various e-
mail programs are the most widely used of the Internet tools, since the
Internet is primarily used for communication between users. Users can be
human or can be automated e-mail programs. Some of these automated programs
can send your e-mail message to a group of individuals interested in the same
type of information. By redistributing your e-mail message in this way, the
automated e-mail program creates a virtual community--a discussion group. The
listserv family of automated programs allows individuals to subscribe to
various lists (or discussion groups). The listserv program handles all the
administrative tasks (adding/deleting individuals from the subscription list;
redistributing e-mail to all of the lists subscribers), leaving individual
subscribers free to discuss substantive issues. Ill discuss some notable law-
related listserv lists in Chapter 1.
When people write a letter and send it from Maine to Finland via the United
States Postal Services (USPS), they know that the to and from addresses must
be written in a certain place, that mail may be returned if there is a
problem, and that mail may be disposed of after sitting idly on the shelf of
the post office (if, for example, both addresses are illegible). Internet e-
mail works in much the same way. Some of the TCP/IP protocols deal with how
to send, return, and dispose of e-mail.
The advantages of Internet e-mail over USPS mail and telephone calls are
numerous. Unlike with USPS mail, you do not have to find a stamp and drive to
the nearest mailbox to send Internet e-mail. And unlike the telephone,
Internet e-mail is never (well, almost never) busy. One winter, I planned a
ski trip in Maine entirely by e-mail. I was able to make sure that each
person got the same information, I could keep track of RSVPs, and I did not
have to worry about making phone calls.
0.2.4.2. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Overview.
FTP is a tool that allows users on one computer (the local computer) to
connect to another computer (the remote computer) for the limited purpose of
copying files from (and sometimes to) the remote computer. A computer that is
set up to accept incoming FTP requests from another computer is called an FTP
server. Usually, the administrators of an FTP server will copy certain files
to a public directory on the FTP server. In this way, information is made
available to the Internet community. An FTP server is like a bulletin board.
The owner of the FTP server can add and delete files from the public directory
on the server just as notices can be physically tacked to (and removed
from) a bulletin board.
0.2.4.2.1. FTPMail (FTP via E-mail).
Many resources are available via anonymous FTP. If you do not have access to
FTP, but you do have access to e-mail, send a message with help in the body of
the message to the following address.
URL: mailto:ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com
0.2.4.2.2. FTPMail Example.
For example, to get The Legal List via e-mail from the FTPMail service, send a
message with the following text in the body of the message to the following
address. The files will be e-mailed to you in a day or so.
connect ftp.lcp.com
ascii
get /pub/LegalList/legallist.txt
quit
URL: mailto:ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com
0.2.4.3. Gopher Overview.
Gopher is named for the mascot of the University of Minnesota, where it was
developed. Its a menu-driven program, much like an ATM machine at a bank.
The Gopher server--a computer set up to run the program--is set up with a main
menu and a series of submenus. When you select a particular menu item, you
can view documents, run other Internet programs, or connect to another Gopher
server. (By allowing one Gopher server to connect to another, Gopher allows
users to look at menus and submenus from Gopher servers all over the world--so
once you have connected to one Gopher server, you can connect to them all.)
When you connect to another Gopher server, the Gopher program on your local
computer connects to the Gopher program on the remote computer just long
enough to copy the menu from the remote computer. This allows many Internet
users to look at a particular Gopher menu at a given time. In this way, using
the Gopher program is much like signing a book out of the library one page at
a time--rather than tying up the pages that others may be waiting for. A
well-organized Gopher server can make finding information on the Internet much
easier.
Various client versions of Gopher software are available via anonymous FTP:
URL: ftp://boombox.micro.umn.edu/pub/gopher/
Using a local client is faster, but there are also a number of public Telnet
login sites available:
URL: telnet://gopher@consultant.micro.umn.edu (North America)
URL: telnet://gopher@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (North America)
URL: telnet://panda@panda.uiowa.edu (North America)

URL: telnet://gopher@tolten.puc.cl (South America)
URL: telnet://gopher@ecnet.ec (Ecuador)
URL: telnet://gopher@gan.ncc.go.jp (Japan)
For more information, contact the Gopher software developers:

URL: mailto:gopher@boombox.micro.umn.edu
0.2.4.3.1. GopherMail (Gopher via E-mail).
Gopher is accessible via e-mail with GopherMail. To use GopherMail, send a
message with help as the subject of the message to one of the following
GopherMail servers (try to use a site near you).
URL: mailto:gophermail@forestry.umn.edu (USA)
URL: mailto:gophermail@calvin.edu (USA)
URL: mailto:gopher@earn.net (France)
URL: mailto:gophermail@ncc.go.jp (Japan)
URL: mailto:gopher@dsv.su.se (Sweden)
URL: mailto:gopher@earn.net (Europe)
0.2.4.3.2. VERONICA.
VERONICA (Very Easy Rodent-Oriented Net-wide Index to Computerized Archives)
is to GopherSpace what Archie, a program developed by the McGill School of
Computer Science, is to the Internet's anonymous FTP archives. (For more
information on Archie, see The Internet Resource Guide/Directory of
Directories (see Section 0.1.3). VERONICA offers a keyword search of most of
the Gopher-server menu titles in the world. To try VERONICA, select it from
the Other Gophers menu on the University of Minnesota's Gopher server.
0.2.4.4. World-Wide Web (WWW) Overview.
WWW is a distributed hypertext tool. If you have ever used HyperCard on the
Macintosh or the help feature on Microsoft Windows, then you have used a
hypertext system. More accurately, WWW (which was developed by CERN, the
European Laboratory for Particle Physics) is a hyperMEDIA program because
graphics and sound--in addition to text--can be displayed. A WWW server (a
computer set up to run the WWW program) is like a deck of cards--you can skip
from one location to another via links. Unlike Gopher, which presents you
with a series of menu items, WWW presents the user with documents. Each
document, like the menus in Gopher, can contain links, which often appear as
bold or italicized text. When you select a particular link, you can view
documents, run other Internet programs, or connect to another WWW server. The
home page for a WWW server is analogous to the main menu for a Gopher server.
To access the Web, you run a browser program that can read and retrieve
documents. Mosaic is the most popular WWW browser program. The browsers can
access information via/from FTP, Telnet, Usenet, Gopher, WAIS, and others.
The following are some of the browsers accessible by Telnet (try to use sites
near you):
URL: telnet://www@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu (US)
URL: telnet://www@www.njit.edu (US)
URL: telnet://info.cern.ch (Switzerland)
URL: telnet://www@vms.huji.ac.il (Israel)
URL: telnet://sun.uakom.cs (Slovakia)
URL: telnet://info.funet.fi (Finland)
0.2.4.5. Wide Area Information Servers (WAIS) Overview.
WAIS, the Wide Area Information Servers, is a networked full text information
retrieval system developed by Thinking Machines, Apple Computer, and Dow
Jones. WAIS currently uses TCP/IP to connect client applications to
information servers. Client applications are able to retrieve text or
multimedia documents stored on the servers. Client applications request
documents using keywords. Servers search a full text index for the documents
and return a list of documents containing the keyword. The client may then
request the server to send a copy of any of the documents found. The WAIS
software distribution is available via anonymous FTP:
URL: ftp://think.com/wais/
If you are in Europe try the following first:
URL: ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/networking/services/wais/
The easiest way to get started (if you do not have access to a WAIS client) is
to try the WAIS at Thinking Machines:
URL: telnet://wais@quake.think.com
0.2.4.5.1. WAISmail (WAIS via E-mail).
If you do not have access to WAIS but you do have access to e-mail, you might
want to try WAISmail, a WAIS via e-mail program. For more information on
WAISmail, send a message with help as the subject of the message to the
following address.
URL: mailto:WAISmail@Think.COM
With WAISmail, you can search WAIS sources and retrieve documents identified
by your searches. Here is how the search and retrieve commands work:
search [| ...] {keywords...}
Where is a source name as found in the directory of servers
(with or without the .src ending). If you use more than one source name and
enclose them in quotes (as above), WAISmail will search both of the sources.
If you try to search a nonexistent source, WAISmail will e-mail a list of
sources to you. The following are some law-related WAIS sources that you may
want to try:
bit.listserv.pacs-l.src

0.2.4.6. Bulletin Board System (BBS) Overview.
There are approximately 50,000 BBSs nationwide, many of which are law-
related. I have included only the essential information about these BBSs in
Chapter 1, namely the phone number to call and a contact for more information.
Most of the BBSs run 24 hours per day, many charge a fee, many are accessible
at various baud rates. Your best bet is to read the introductory information
carefully for each BBS.
0.2.5. Practical Uses of the Internet.
The Internet offers a unique duality for the legal professional: communication
and publication.
0.2.5.1. Communication via E-mail.
Internet e-mail is nearly instantaneous, never (well, almost never) busy, and
as easy as writing a letter. The recipient of an e-mail message can return
(by cutting and pasting) portions of the senders original e-mail message with
his/her response to provide the necessary context that is often lost in US
mail or in phone messages.
The power of the Internet as a means of communication cannot be understated.
Last year, I sent about 10,000 e-mail messages, and I received about the same
amount. This book was submitted via Internet e-
mail. My clients, friends, and family are all on the Internet, and e-
mail makes it easier for me to keep in touch with all of them.
0.2.5.2. Publication/Research via Internet Servers.
As a means of publication, the Internet can be used for advertising, research,
etc. Unlike Internet e-mail, which is primarily two-way communication,
Internet publication (via FTP, Gopher, and WWW servers) is primarily one-way
communication--from the publisher to the Internet community. The Internet
publisher (which includes anybody who chooses to make information available on
the Internet) can establish an FTP server, a Gopher server, and/or a World-
Wide Web server. Organizations that are not yet prepared to respond to
information requests via e-mail can still maintain a significant Internet
presence by establishing such servers.
On the Internet one can find primary law (cases, statutes, and treaties),
secondary law (law review articles and the like), and tertiary law (discussion
groups, unpublished manuscripts and the like). The key players in publishing
law-related information on the Internet are law schools and government
institutions. Since the Internet is a network of networks, with each network
independently owned and operated, some of the information is easier to get
than other. Ultimately, if the case, the statute, or the law review article
that the Internet user seeks exists on the Internet, it exists as a file on a
hard disk (or other storage medium) on a computer on a network somewhere on
the Internet. It may exist in more that one location, and one locations
version may be more up-to-date than another's.
0.2.6. Who Else is on the Internet?
Despite the growing popularity of the Internet as a means for communication,
it has not yet achieved the same level of acceptance as the post office, the
telephone, or the fax machine. While law firms regularly include postal
addresses, phone numbers, and fax numbers on their business letters, and
business cards, few include Internet addresses. Even in the academic
community, where Internet access has been more common, the Internet hasn't
risen to the level of the fax machine. Of the top 40 US law schools, Case
Western Reserve University is the only school whose brochure specifically
lists e-mail and WWW server addresses.
0.2.7. The Future of the Internet - Not Just for Scientists Anymore.
Formerly used exclusively by government, military, and research users, the
Internet is now being used by people in all lines of work. As more people get
on the Internet, fewer people will be able to ignore the Internet. And as the
Internet expands, there will be more legal issues (intellectual property,
privacy, and First Amendment issues to name a few) to tackle.
The Internet's ability to convey key information about a law firm, law school,
or any organization is unique. As a means of communication, the Internet can
supplement the phone, fax, and paper mail. As a means of publication, the
Internet provides ways to research and advertise--as well as to shop and have
fun. In my opinion, letterhead, fax leaders, business cards, and e-mail
signatures--at least those for organizations-
-should all contain US Postal Service addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers,
and Internet addresses. Internet addresses can be either e-mail addresses
(for two-way communication) or Gopher and WWW server addresses (for one-way
publication). Law firms should be prepared to use all of the generally
accepted means of communication. Your clients may want to have options. Like
the fax machine, the Internet is here to stay.
Chapter 1. Talk, Talk, Talk.
This chapter describes law-related listserv lists, Usenet newsgroups, BBSs,
and online services. Listserv lists are like magazines in that one can
subscribe and unsubscribe. There are lists for a wide range of law-
related interests such as intellectual property (CNI-Copyright), fathers
rights (FREE-L), and issues of interest to law students (LawSch-L). Usenet is
the news network that is intertwined with, but independent from, the Internet.
One of the best ways to find the e-mail address for a particular individual is
to call that individual. If you choose to contact the individuals listed
below via e-mail, please keep your e-mail message short and to-the-point.
1.1. Online Services.
1.1.1. ABA/Net.
Phone: 1-800-242-6005 xABA8
The networks from which you can access ABA/Net include Telenet, Tymnet and
Uninet.
1.1.2. Law Journal Extra.
Law Journal Extra
345 Park Avenue South
New York, NY 10010
Phone: 1-800-888-8300
URL: http://www.ljextra.com/
From the publishers of the National Law Journal and the New York Law Journal.
The WWW server is accessible to subscribers only.
1.1.3. Lexis Counsel Connect.
Lexis Counsel Connect
600 Third Avenue
New York, NY 10016
Phone: 1-800-955-5291
URL: http://www.counsel.com/
Lexis Counsel Connect provides facilities for electronic mail and computer
conferences, as well as access to online databases. LCC is a partnership
between American Lawyer Media, L.P, and Mead Data Central. LCC's WWW server
is called LawLINKS.
1.2. Listserv Lists .
Many listserv lists exist on the Internet. A central computer maintains the
list of subscribers to a particular list, and when you mail to this computer
(running the listserv program), listserv mails your message to the
subscribers. In this way, membership lists only need to be maintained in one
location.
Many different kinds of list-management software packages exist, including the
original BITNET LISTSERV software, ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas,
Majordomo by Brent Chapman, PMDF Mailserv, and Mailbase (used in the UK). It
is not always possible to tell which list-

other electronic databases; and to test new ideas and share comments on
current historiography.
