the Constitution. |

The Internet
Scout Project: " Presented by the National Law
Journal, this resource is a boon to anyone who has ever rummaged
around in search of information on specific litigation and/or
legal decisions. Adapted from The Best and Worst Legal Sites on
the Web, a book written by Robert J. Ambrogi, the site is a
great one-stop resource for those requiring direct access to
credible information now. Constructed logically and solidly, the
site serves as a gateway to resources on Supreme, circuit, and
district court links, as well as presents courts and cases on a
state-by-state basis. For legal students, scholars, jurists and
other law enthusiasts, the page also highlights top decisions
and major monetary judgments for the year in progress. Beyond
that, the site also notes cases to watch, as well as recent
court decisions and their potential impact on legal practice and
legislation." [WH
