Index

Review of previous edition:

"Law on the Internet is a compact guide that allows even the novice internet user to quickly track down law-related websites, both in Australia and overseas.... Perhaps the most useful feature is the point form listing of each website's main contents.

...[T]he reader can immediately choose the level of detail they need—from abroad overview on a general site suitable for a casual business-related query, to the actual case law and legislation that is more the province of a student or legal practitioner. A useful guide for any person with an interest in the law."
