FindLaw Launches New FindLaw for the Public

FindLaw has announced a new "FindLaw for the Public" Web site with lots of new content including a variety of state-specific legal content and expanded general legal content. It's available at http://public.findlaw.com/.

From the front page you'll find a subject index of legal information including criminal law, employment law, real estate, and personal injury. Pick a subject and you'll first be asked for your sip code. Once you provide that you'll get a page of inofrmation about your topic of interest, inlcuding links to lawyers in your area who specialize in that particular thing, as well as additional links to that topic. Lead, for example, contained a link to "Toxic Tort Lawyers" (sounds like Britney Spears remix) in my area, as well as an overview of lead hazards and a link to six other articles on lead issues.

In addition to the legal topics this site also contains a lawyer's directory and some extensive message boards.
