1. Los Angeles MCLE Internet Legal Research Seminar

INTERNET FOR LAWYERS has set its next Los Angeles seminar for Tuesday, February 29, from 6-8 PM. The two-hour MCLE presentation, to be held in Century City, will cover a wide range of topics from legal research metasites and Federal, State and Local Government resources, to the "Top 10 Websites No Legal Professional Should be Without." The $60.00 seminar fee includes dinner and a copy of INTERNET FOR LAWYERS' popular "How to Use the Internet for Legal, Business & Investigative Research: A Guide for California Attorneys." For more information: http://www.netforlawyers.com/feb_29_mcle_seminar.htm or e-mail seminars@netforlawyers.com. INTERNET FOR LAWYERS is a State Bar of California approved MCLE provider.

2. "How Public Are Public Records?"

The term "public record" has always been VERY misleading. Even though a record is "public" and available for public scrutiny in the strictest sense, in reality it may not be readily available. The availability of numerous public records via the Internet has addressed some of the accessibility issues, but just as it's always been in the "offline" world, access to free public records via the web is a hit or miss proposition. This article provides a guide to wide variety of public record resources and meta-sites. http://www.netforlawyers.com/article_public_records.htm

3. "Attend Law School Online

Out of sunny California, comes the first law school located in cyberspace; where you can earn a law degree without leaving the safety and comfort of your home. Concord, the first "Virtual" law school, where download speeds are more important than LSAT scores and your hardware and software are tested as rigorously as you are, is now in its second year of existence with 300 students. http://www.netforlawyers.com/article_attend_law_school.htm (This article originally appeared in The Internet Lawyer Issue 6.02 - February 2000.
