Cornell University Legal Information Institute

Another great legal website is the Legal Information Institute (LII) of Cornell University.

LII's mission is to:
To carry out applied research on the use of digital information technology in the distribution of legal information, the delivery of legal education, and the practice of law.

  • Research is applied in the sense that it is carried out by creating key collections of primary legal materials and commentary and information retrieval and resource location tools for use by a large and diverse population of users.
  • Research rather than mere information delivery in the sense that we continue to seek improved ways to use a rapidly shifting set of technology tools in a constantly changing information environment.
  • Lead through example, consulting and contract work, and workshops.

To make law more accessible not only to U.S. legal professionals but to students, teachers, and the general public in the U.S. and abroad To carry out these activities in partnership with but not under the control or direction of such other key actors as law firms, bar associations, public law making and applying bodies, commercial publishers, and other academic institutions.

The site has links to executive, legislative and judicial materials from both Federal and State sources. Besides United States source documents, this site has links to International materials as well. Another of the features of this site is a link to a Uniform Law Locator that allows the researcher to find where the uniform laws have been enacted and how they have been modified in each jurisdiction.
