Chapter 1. Introduction to The Legal List.
1.1. Purpose and History.
The purpose of The Legal List is to provide a consolidated list of all of the law-related resources available on the Internet and elsewhere. I have been "on the Internet" since 1984. I initially learned about the Internet by looking over the shoulders of my friends and co-workers (I believe that this is the way most people learn how to navigate the Internet), and then I began exploring the Internet for myself. I spent a great deal of 1992 exploring the Internet in search of law-related resources, because I wanted to know what law-related resources were available on the Internet. I was frustrated that of comprehensive list of such resources did not exist, so I created my own list. As I discussed what I had been doing with others, they began to request copies of my list. In August, 1992, I released the first version. I called this version "beta.4," because it was (and is) a work in progress.
I am committed to providing high-quality information. As such, I try to verify information. (If I have not been able to verify a resource, I have flagged it in the text with the "***" symbol.) I also include resources that are no longer available, so that you won't waste your time responding to a so-called "new" resource that has, in fact, been extinct for some time. What started a relatively short list for my own use has grown into the relatively large book you are now reading. Administrative support in the form of a GOPHER server (and its disk space) is provided by the University of Maine School of Law. Administrative support in the form of publicity within the University of Maine School of Law is provided by the Maine Law and Technology Association. Administrative support in the form of an anonymous FTP server (and its disk space) is provided by Midnight Networks, Inc.
Unfortunately, providing high-quality information costs money. The Legal List receives no financial support from any organization. I have invested my own time and money (mostly due to the long-distance phone calls I make to access the Internet) into The Legal List. As the copyright notice for this version indicates, The Legal List is free on the Internet, but it costs if you print it. I believe that this arrangement is consistent with the spirit of providing free information on the Internet, while at the same time allowing me to partially recover the costs of producing The Legal List. For those who complain that this arrangement makes those without Internet access subsidize those with such access, I respond that 1) this encourages people to get on the Internet to get the free version, 2) I cannot think of a better solution, and 3) I do not maintain a paper copy of The Legal List.
I believe that The Legal List is worth the price. It is comprehensive, frequently-updated, and "subscribeable" (by sending a message to legal-list-request@justice.eliot.me.us with "subscribe your_name" as the subject) To date, over 400 individuals from approximately 50 universities and 10 countries have subscribed. But don't take my word for it, listen to what others have said:
"I can't wait to explore this list further."
- 06/28/93
"I am very new to the internet (and to computers in general) but I am delighted by the
quality of information I am receiving."
- 06/29/93
"Thanks for recently sending the Legal List. It's a marvelous service."
- 07/02/93
"I've just received a copy of The Legal List Version 2.0 and I wanted to congratulate you
on a fine piece of work. It is a great document and should be extremely useful to those of
us trying to find our way around the legal side of Internet."
- 09/07/93
"Wow - the Legal List is way impressive!"
- 09/22/93
"[A] quick note of praise on your Legal List. I think it's a great idea, and I have found it
useful to get a feel for what's available online in the legal domain."
- 09/23/93
"I had the pleasure of reading your 'Legal List' this morning. I am an attorney and am
new to the Internet. Your paper will prove to be a tremendous research tool for me."
- 01/06/94
(For those who might be wondering why I am plugging my book in my book, let me explain. The top portion of The Legal List (the table of contents and Sections 0, 1, and 2) are included as the README file that is archived with The Legal List and that is sent to those inquiring about The Legal List.)
Version 3.0 of The Legal List has been totally reorganized. I have listed the resources in order of ease-of-accessibility. The resources that are easiest to access are listed first, those that are more difficult to access are listed last. For example, the user of a value-added network (such as CompuServe, GEnie, or America Online) may have access to Internet e-mail but may not have FTP or TELNET access. To this user, the e-mail servers are the most useful. Also, I have tried to list free services before paid services. Finally, I have included two appendices of general Internet information that is not necessarily law-related. The following is a summary of the contents of The Legal List:
Chapter 0. REVISION HISTORY ETC. Self-explanatory.
Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE LEGAL LIST. Self-explanatory.
Chapter 2. GETTING AND REDISTRIBUTING THE LEGAL LIST. This chapter describes how to get The Legal List. If you are trying to get a copy of The Legal List, you can avoid many problems by simply reading and following the directions. This is true not only of The Legal List but also of all of the resources it describes. (For example, you may get The Legal List via anonymous FTP from ftp.midnight.com as pub/LegalList/legallist.txt, but you may NOT TELNET to this site. See Section 2.3 for details.)
Chapter 3. E-MAIL-ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES. This chapter describes law-related resources available via e-mail such as e-mail addresses of law-related organizations, e-mail addresses of US law schools, and subscription information for subject-oriented law-related mailing lists. These mailing lists (many of which are LISTSERV groups) are like magazines in that one can subscribe and unsubscribe. There are groups for a wide range of law-related interests such intellectual property (CNI-COPYRIGHT), fathers' rights (FREE-L), and issues of interest to law students (LAWSCH-L).
Chapter 4. FTP-ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES. This chapter describes law-related resources available via anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP) such as US Supreme Court decisions and Tufts University's Multilaterals Project.
Chapter 5. TELNET-ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES. This chapter describes law-related resources available via TELNET such as the Library of Congress and the archives of Cornell University School of Law.
Chapter 6. GOPHER-ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES. This chapter describes law-related resources available via GOPHER (an Internet client/server protocol, developed in April 1991 by the University of Minnesota) such as the archives of Washington and Lee University School of Law.
Chapter 7. WWW-ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES. This chapter describes law-related resources available via the World Wide Web (WWW) (a distributed hypermedia system started by CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics).
Chapter 8. WAIS-ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES. This chapter describes law-related resources available via the Wide Area Information Servers (WAIS) (a networked full text information retrieval system developed by Thinking Machines, Apple Computer, and Dow Jones).
Chapter 9. USENET (NETNEWS) NEWSGROUPS. This chapter lists law-related newsgroups available on USENET, the news network that is intertwined with, but independent from, the Internet.
Chapter 10. BBS-ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES. This chapter describes law-related Bulletin Board Systems/Services (BBSs) such as FedWorld, a bulletin board set up by the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) that connects to over 100 Federal bulletin boards. Many Bulletin Board Systems/Services (BBS) of a legal nature exist, including private BBSs, commercial BBSs, and Government BBSs.
Chapter 11. COMPUTER-AIDED LEGAL RESEARCH RESOURCES. This chapter describes computer-aided legal research, such as how to connect to Lexis/Nexis and WestLaw via TELNET.
Chapter 12. JOURNALS. This chapter lists technology-related law-related journals such as "E Law," which is an electronically-available journal.
Appendix A. INTERNET, UUCP, AND USENET INFORMATION. This appendix contains, for example, information on how to get on the Internet, i.e.. how to purchase an Internet account.
Appendix B. OTHER RESOURCES. This appendix describes, for example, introductory Internet books and shareware software.
1.2. For New Internet Users - A Brief Primer on the Internet.
Earlier versions of The Legal List stated that "[a] certain level of familiarity with the Internet is assumed by the author of
The Legal List." I no longer make this assumption, as I have discovered that many readers of The Legal List are unfamiliar with the Internet in general. As such, I have added this "brief primer."A Brief Primer on the Internet. The Internet is THE international network of computer networks. Each computer on the Internet speaks the same language, the TCP/IP protocols. (In addition, many value-added services such as CompuServe and GEnie are connected to the Internet via gateways. In essence, this means that the users of these value-added networks can use limited Internet resources, most notably electronic mail. But this is rapidly changing, as these value-added networks make other Internet protocols available, such as FTP and telnet.) The computers on the Internet are connected, essentially, by various types of telephone lines. But what matters to the Internet-user is not how these computers are connected or how an electronic mail (e-mail) message gets from Maine to California, but simply that the Internet WORKS. When people write a letter and send it from Maine to California via the United States Postal Services (USPS), they know that the "to" and "from" addresses must be written in a certain place, that mail may be returned if there is a problem, and that mail may be disposed of after sitting idly on the shelf of the post office (if, for example, both addresses are illegible). Internet e-mail works in much the same way. Some of the TCP/IP protocols deal with how to send, return, and dispose of e-mail.
The advantages of Internet e-mail over USPS mail and telephone calls are numerous. Unlike with USPS mail, you don't have to find a stamp and drive to the nearest mailbox to send Internet e-mail. And unlike the telephone, Internet e-mail is never busy. I recently planned a ski trip in Maine entirely by e-mail. I was able to make sure that each person got the same information, I could keep track of RSVPs, and I didn't have to worry about making phone calls.
Not Just for Scientists Anymore. The Internet has recently come out of the closet. As more people get on the Internet, fewer people will be able to ignore the Internet. Formerly used exclusively by government, military, and research users, the Internet is now being used by people in all lines of work. Lawyers will need to get on the Internet to communicate with their clients and with each other. 1993 may go down in history as "the year of the Internet." Consider that in 1993 there were more references to the Internet in the New York Times than there were in all previous years combined!
Summary. When I was writing choosing a name for The Legal List, Law-Related Resources on the Internet and Elsewhere, I initially had chosen "beyond" instead of "elsewhere." However, I decided to go with "elsewhere" because in terms of electronic resources, NOTHING is beyond the Internet. As big as value-added services (such as CompuServe and GEnie) may get, they will always be a subset of the Internet. The "elsewhere" sections deal primarily with resources that are not on the Internet, but which may be someday. And as the Internet expands, there will be more legal issues (intellectual property, privacy, and First Amendment issues to name a few) to tackle. Was 1993 the year of the Internet? I'm not sure, but I do know that the Internet is here to stay, and for lawyers and others who are concerned about the future of the Internet, now is the time to get on.
The Legal List contains additional introductory information:

2.1 Summary of How To Get The Legal List.
Please read this chapter carefully. Please do NOT try to access The Legal List in a manner that is not described in this chapter. Please read the details below. The purpose of this summary is to describe, in chart format, how to get The Legal List and how NOT to get The Legal List. If you read and follow the directions in this chapter, you will have no problems. This advice applies not only to The Legal List but to all of the resources it describes.

2.2. E-Mail.
Due to the size of The Legal List, (and to keep justice.eliot.me.us running as efficiently as possible) I only send the initial release of The Legal List via e-mail to those who have subscribed to The Legal List Mailing List (described below in Section 2.2.1). I will NOT be able to send individual copies via e-mail after the initial release. However, you can still get a copy of The Legal List e-mailed to you by using FTPMAIL (see Section 4.1) or by using the mail-server at MIT (see Section 2.5).

Subject: subscribe John Smith
Hi,
I saw a reference to "The Legal List" on CompuServe.
Thanks,
- John
The SUBJECT of the message should contain your real name. I always like to hear where you learned about The Legal List, so if you include this information in the BODY of the message, I would greatly appreciate it! Version 4.0 of The Legal List (as well as other announcements) will be mailed to those on this Mailing List. To cancel your subscription to this Mailing List, send a message in the following form:
To: legal-list-request@justice.eliot.me.us
Subject: unsubscribe
Please allow up to ONE WEEK for a reply to messages sent to legal-list-request@justice.eliot.me.us. (If you send multiple
subscription requests, you will get multiple responses. However, duplicate addresses are removed before any messages are sent to
those on The Legal List Mailing List, so you should not receive multiple copies of any messages.)
2.2.2. Updates.
Updates, additions, and corrections to The Legal List should be sent to legal-list@justice.eliot.me.us.
2.3. Anonymous FTP.
The Legal List is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.midnight.com (Midnight Networks Inc.) as pub/LegalList/legallist.txt. You may connect to ftp.midnight.com by anonymous FTP ONLY. (Please do NOT TELNET to ftp.midnight.com.) If you have e-mail access but you do not have FTP access, you may want to try DEC's FTP-via-e-mail service, FTPMAIL (see Section 4.1).

get /pub/LegalList/legallist.txt
quit
The files will be e-mailed to you in a day or so. If you have problems with FTPing to ftp.midnight.com, send a message to admin@midnight.com or legal-list@justice.eliot.me.us.
2.3.1. Internet Resource Guide - Directory of Directories. <!>
The Legal List is one of many resources officially documented by the InterNIC Directory and Database Services at the NSF Network Systems Center (NNSC) under a contract with AT&T. The "Internet Resource Guide" (IRG), formerly compiled and maintained by BBN, Inc., for the NNSC is being transitioned to the "Directory of Directories" provided by the InterNIC Directory and Database Services. In previous versions of The Legal List, I wrote "[t]he [IRG] is invaluable, and everyone with a serious interest in the Internet should maintain a copy. The NNSC's stated goal is 'to expose users to those facilities that will help them do their work better.' (Internet Resource Guide, Introduction, dated 16 Apr 90.) I wholeheartedly agree with this goal." Although the IRG in its 1990-form is being discontinued, the entries are being incorporated into the NNSC's new "Directory of Directories." The "Directory of Directories" should prove to be an invaluable resource.

3.3. BITNET and UNIX Listserv Groups. <!>
Many interest groups exist on BITNET. A central computer maintains the list of subscribers to a particular interest group, and when you mail to this computer (running the LISTSERV program), LISTSERV mails your message to the subscribers. In this way, membership lists only need to be maintained in one location.
The BITNET LISTSERV software (which runs on IBM mainframes) has been ported to the UNIX environment. The UNIX LISTSERV software, written by Anastasios C. Kotsikonas (Copyright (c) 1992), has many features similar to BITNET LISTSERV systems, although the syntax of commands may vary slightly. UNIX LISTSERV sites typically do not have the cooperative features of the original LISTSERV software, which allow you to subscribe to any BITNET LISTSERV list from any BITNET LISTSERV server.
The following LISTSERV interest groups are of a legal nature. Most are BITNET LISTSERV interest groups, some are UNIX LISTSERV groups, a few are MAILBASE groups. All e-mail addresses are given in Internet form, and most BITNET addresses are provided for BITNET LISTSERV groups. The descriptions of the groups are in the following form:
1. The "how to subscribe" section. Send a message to the address following the
"Subscribe to:" prompt. The text following the "Text of message:" prompt should be
included in your message. Your_name should be your real name, e.g. John Q.
Smith.
Subscribe to: listserv@example.state.edu
Text of message:

groups subscribers to the address following the "Post messages to:" prompt.

3. The "how to unsubscribe" section. Send a message to the address following the
"Unsubscribe to:" prompt. The text following the "Text of message:" prompt should be
included in your message.

The European Law Student's Association - ELSA - is an independent, non-political, non-profit organization of law students and young lawyers.

It cooperates in various fields with ILSA, the International Law Students' Association. The purpose of the all-of-elsa list is to increase and improve the communication within ELSA. Every member of ELSA is requested to subscribe to the list. ELSA-friends are also welcome.

History On-Line. H-Net is an initiative of the History department at the University of Illinois, Chicago, to assist historians to go on-line using their personal computers, the Internet and BITNET. H-Net sponsors a series of LISTSERV lists, the largest of which is HOLOCAUS with 290 subscribers in 15 countries receiving an average of 5 messages per day. Membership is open to any historian or graduate student. Each list is moderated by a historian and has a board of editors. The moderators control the flow of messages and reject those unsuitable for a scholarly discussion group. The primary purpose of each list is to enable historians to easily communicate current research and teaching interests; to discuss new approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to share information on access to library catalogs and other electronic databases; and to test new ideas and share comments on current historiography.

This is a moderated list that deals with issues of interest to professional Political Scientists, both Researchers and Teachers (PSRT). Submissions from all sub-fields of political science as well as related disciplines are encouraged. The list is not intended to serve as a public forum for debate over current issues in politics, as other lists already fill that niche. Rather it is intended to provide an opportunity for political scientists to present their ideas and ongoing research for discussion, to consider the directions in which the discipline is advancing, and to encourage the dissemination of new concepts in research and teaching. In addition to ongoing discussions, the list editors would like to post announcements of job openings and upcoming conferences.

4.2.1. Project Hermes.
U.S. Supreme Court decisions are available online as part of "Project Hermes." On May 11th, 1990 the United States Supreme Court announced that it was beginning a two-year experimental program with the objective to rapidly provide copies of the Court's opinions in electronic form to as wide an audience as possible.
One of the twelve participants is a noncommercial, nonprofit, consortium composed of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), EDUCOM, and the National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN). You can electronically receive the full text of the Court's opinions within minutes of their release--free.
You may have the Court's opinions sent directly to you if you have access to either a BITNET or Internet computer or you may download the files directly from any NPTN community computer system. To receive more information on how to sign up for the BITNET/Internet service, or if you would like to know more about accessing these files on an NPTN community computer, please send your name, organization or firm, address, city, state, and zip, to:
PROJECT HERMES
CWRU COMMUNITY TELECOMPUTING LAB
319 WICKENDEN BUILDING
CLEVELAND, OH 44106.

Cornell Law School, through its wholly-owned subsidiary the Legal Information Institute, operates a Gopher server on fatty.law.cornell.edu (port 70). It is focused largely on legal information. TEKNOIDS is archived there in searchable form, and LAW-LIB soon will be. If you don't have a Gopher client, you can TELNET to fatty and log in as 'gopher'; you'll be placed in the UN*X gopher client.
The Directory of Legal Academia is accessible via Gopher, TELNET, and electronic mail. To use the Gopher version, simply find your way to the Gopher server at fatty.law.cornell.edu; there's a menu choice for it. To use the TELNET version, TELNET to fatty and login as 'lookup'. Simple instructions are provided on the opening screen. To use the mail version, send mail to lookup@fatty.law.cornell.edu. Somewhere in the body of the mail message, you may place one or more queries in one of two forms:
query name=Somebody
query department=Somewhere
The 'query name' form looks up someone by name; the 'query department' form looks up someone by location, e.g.
query name=Bruce
returns five entries, including Thomas Bruce and Bruce Kennedy.
query department=Harvard
returns entries for all personnel at the Harvard Law School. There are about 1000 names of legal academics and law librarians currently in the database; we are looking for more. To add or change information, send appropriate mail to:

7.1. WWW Overview.
WWW stands for the World Wide Web. WWW, started by CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics), is a distributed hypermedia system. To access the Web, you run a browser program that can read and retrieve documents. The browsers can access information via/from FTP, TELNET, Usenet, Gopher, WAIS, and others. WWW does not have as many users as Gopher, mainly because of the small number of available WWW browsers.
The following are some of the Browsers accessible by TELNET (try to use sites near you):

Chapter 8. WAIS-Accessible Resources.
8.1. WAIS Overview.
WAIS, the Wide Area Information Servers, is a networked full text information retrieval system developed by Thinking Machines, Apple Computer, and Dow Jones. WAIS currently uses TCP/IP to connect client applications to information servers. Client applications are able to retrieve text or multimedia documents stored on the servers. Client applications request documents using keywords. Servers search a full text index for the documents and return a list of documents containing the keyword. The client may then request the server to send a copy of any of the documents found. The WAIS software distribution is available via anonymous FTP:
ftp think.com
get /wais/wais-8-b5.1.tar.Z
(WAIS software)get /wais/wais-sources.tar.Z
(current WAIS sources/databases)cd /wais/doc
(documentation, users guides, etc.)If you are in Europe try the following first:
ftp nic.funet.fi
cd /pub/networking/services/wais
(WAIS files)
8.2. WAIS Sources.
The easiest way to get started (if you do not have access to a WAIS client) is to try the WAIS at Thinking Machines:
telnet quake.think.com
login: wais
A notable WAIS site is Columbia University Law Library. Search on "LAW" to see law-related sources.

Appendix A. Internet, UUCP, and Usenet Information.
This appendix contains, for example, information on how to get on the Internet, i.e.. how to purchase an Internet account.
A.1. Introductory Internet Information.
To receive introductory information on the Internet, send a message to service@nic.ddn.mil the subject line "RFC1325" (without the quotations). You will receive the Request For Comments (RFC) "Questions and Answers for New Internet Users." (This service is documented in The Internet Resource Guide/Directory of Directories. See Section 2.3.1.).
A.2. Internet, UUCP, and Usenet Providers.
There is not a bright line separating "domain providers" and "account providers." In general, "domain providers" have close ties to the Internet, and "account providers" do not. "Domain providers" sell Internet links to organizations, "account providers" sell e-mail accounts to individuals. However, the services offered by each are constantly changing. The following are the major commercial Internet, UUCP, and USENET providers.
A.2.1. Domain Providers.
The companies listed in this section can provide you with domain service. In other words, if you want to use the domain "mycompany.com" for your new company (called "My Company") these are the providers you should contact.
