Justia.com

Justia.com Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, Justia's mission is to advance the availability of legal resources for the benefit of society. We are especially focused on making primary legal materials and community resources free and easy to find on the Internet. The company provides Internet users with free case law, codes, regulations, legal articles and legal blog and twitterer databases, as well as additional community resources. Justia works with educational, public interest and other socially focused organizations to bring legal and consumer information to the online community. (site)

Justia.com is more user-friendly then FindLaw - both are authoritative and easy to use, "crammed with legal information and resources; however, FindLaw seems to lean slightly more toward professionals than general users. Geared toward nonspecialists, Justia.com is easy to navigate and loads quickly. Information is available through subject lists on the home page, or via a search box. Keyword searches may be broad in nature, or limited to Lawyers, Legal Web, Law Blogs, or Legal Podcasts. http://www.justia.com/ users may sign up for Daily Opinion Summaries covering particular legal subject areas, or breaking court opinions. Podcasts from law schools, news agencies, legal firms, and others sources are available. This very useful resource will appeal to audiences ranging from nonspecialists to college/university students" (Choice)
