Description of the Internet Library of Law and Court Decisions
Updated regularly, the Internet Library of Law and Court Decisions is one of the web's foremost case digests, providing in-depth analysis of over 470 court decisions affecting those who do business on the Internet.
Court decisions are organized by subject matter. Within each subject, cases are organized alphabetically by case name. There, you will find a brief synopsis of the court's decision. If the case is of interest, click on the case name, and you will be taken to a more thorough analysis. In most cases, we also provide the full text of the court's decision, either via a downloadable pdf, or via a link to a location at which it can be found on the Internet.
To increase the utility of the Internet Library, and expand our coverage of Internet Law court decisions, we also provide a "Quick Hits" section. Located at the end of each Subject Matter page, the "Quick Hits" section contains a brief synopsis of additional court decisions addressing the same Subject Matter. In most cases, we also provide the full text of the court's decision as well as a downloadable pdf.
A free electronic newsletter, Internet Law Update, is available to provide you with the latest cases added to the Library. A full text search engine is also available to assist in utilizing the Library's resources.
