First Set of Advanced Internet Studies for Lawyers

Author: Delia Venables
CPD: 5 hours
Level: advanced

DESCRIPTION

Five Internet Studies for experienced internet users exploring topics with legal relevance.

Study One - Parliament and the Legislative Process
The processes of Parliament are available on the web, including current Bills, the stage they have reached, Parliamentary Committees and Hansard. Acts since 1966 are also available and S.I.'s. We tour these facilities and also look briefly at the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish Parliaments and legislation.

Study Two - Government Online
Most Government bodies are now online and some of the web sites are very extensive; the main Directgov site is examined as well as the DCA and the Court Service. The Government is committed to providing a large proportion of its interactions with businesses and individuals online over the next few years. We look at the work of the e-Government Unit.

Study Three - Free Sources for Legal Research Online
This Study looks at the free case law and current awareness sources available to lawyers which are available without charge from publishers, journals, courts and other legal bodies. In particular, it covers the very useful site of the British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII).

Study Four - Publishers' Sources for Legal Research Online
The study covers the most important subscription sources of legal research material available from the legal publishers online. The student can register for a free trial of one of these, as part of the study.

Study Five - Practice Management Online
Until quite recently, most firms and chambers have assumed that they will run their own practice management system on their own premises. This is however beginning to change with a new breed of practice management systems which can be run online. This study looks at the pros and cons of "Software as a Service".
