They offer a variety of tools such as a mix of cases, statutes, legal news, a lawyer directory, an online career center and community-oriented tools such as mailing lists and message boards. FindLaw began it’s developement when two attorneys put together a list of Internet resources for a group of law librarians in northern California.

In 2001, FindLaw and its 55 employees joined West Group and they remain the most popular site for free legal information on the Internet with more than five million legal consumers visiting each month and the largest legal directory available. NOTE: please visit the site directly to verify the details and obtain more information.
