A lawyer (Biehl, who has taught at the U. of Houston Law Center and Rice University) and a researcher (Calishain, author of ) show lawyers, paralegals, legal assistants, librarians, and students how they can shift what they already know about doing legal research to the Internet, without becoming overwhelmed by data. Chapters are organized by type of information needed (such as cases, statutes, court rules, government forms and public records, other attorneys, experts, etc.). The book also briefly discusses techniques such as managing bookmarks to create an online library, using search engines and other Web tools, and getting set up on electronic mailing lists and newsgroups.
