There used to be a TV commercial where a confident lawyer walked across the screen and stated “The Law’s for people too.”

Well anyone who has ever had any actual dealings with the law would probably tell you that it's not quite that simple.  The law seems abstract, distant and scary to most people.  And the days when a young Abraham Lincoln could read up for the bar exam while splitting logs are long over.  But have no fear, the internet is here!

The internet isn't making the law easier to understand but it is making it easier to access.  For today’s technology current event we’d like to share with you some great resources for legal information: 

FindLaw:  http://www.findlaw.com/

FindLaw by state:  http://www.findlaw.com/11stategov/

Yahoo Law Directory:  http://dir.yahoo.com/Government/law/

School Laws as compiled by the American School Board Journal:
http://www.asbj.com/schoollawarchive/

United States Code from Cornell University:  http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/

Searchable US Code:  http://uscode.house.gov/

And for entertainment purposes you can always check out some real dumb laws that are actually on the books:  http://www.dumblaws.com/

It doesn't exactly  make it easier to understand the law but at least you can access it rather easily.

PRACTICE ACTIVITY:  Check out one of the links above and see if you can find a specific law or, try to find your own state's laws online.

TO KEEP ON LEARNING:  Any of the links above could keep you busy reading and trying to understand for months, but here are some phrases you could search for on the internet anyway:

Understanding the law
Common law
School Law

Have a nice day!
