If you have a legal question, you call a lawyer. But whom do lawyers call when they have a legal question? Increasingly, they call on the Web. Here are some sites with real appeal.
Findlaw, www.findlaw.com
Think Yahoo! for lawyers. This site looks like Yahoo! and shares its mantra: FindLaw links only to sites that it deems worthy. Browse the guide to more than 25,000 legal sites, search for legal cases, or join "LegalMinds," a virtual community.
Law.Com, www.law.com
From legal news to book sales to job openings to course offerings, you'll find it all here. Law.com also offers regional sites for 11 different states. (It will eventually have a site for each of the 50 states.)
Martindale-Hubbell, www.martindale.com
A new way to access an age-old resource. This online directory lists more than 900,000 lawyers and law firms.
