Slade Neighbors owns a law firm that bears his name and specializes in workers’ compensation defense in California. In addition, he holds certifications as a Medicare Set Aside Certified Consultant and a Certified Medicare Secondary Payer Professional, one of just a few attorneys to do so. Slade Neighbors also belongs to the American Bar Association (ABA), an organization that has been a source of information for legal professionals since its inception in 1878.
The ABA has published a book that could make it easier and less expensive for lawyers to research information. Written by Judy Davis and Carole Levitt, Internet Legal Research on a Budget: Free and Low-Cost Resources for Lawyers, Second Edition contains information on reliable databases, explaining how to use them effectively.
Using legal databases can add up, so for legal professionals who cannot (or do not want to) pay to use an expensive database, this book provides professionals directions to free online databases. The book includes top websites, blogs, and internet sources that not only save researchers time but money as well. It details valuable information related to academic, government, and legal portals and directories; federal statutory research; case law-specific databases; federal, legislative, and congressional materials; basic information on state, local, territorial, and tribal law; and information on foreign, international, and comparative law.
