99 Resources to Research & Mine the Invisible Web, originally from College Degee.com, posted by Marcus P. Zillman at LLRX.com

Be warned. Not all resources listed here – and there are many more at the link above — are sometimes fee based. You may need to sort and give each a test run to see whether it performs as you wish. Still, it includes some interesting search engines, databases, and other resources that are not usually found. If you are a serious researcher, you will find these useful. -CCE

College researchers often need more than Google and Wikipedia to get the job done. To find what you’re looking for, it may be necessary to tap into the invisible web, the sites that don’t get indexed by broad search engines. The following resources were designed to help you do just that, offering specialized search engines, directories, and more places to find the complex and obscure.

Compilation of Resources on Adoption Law.

Adoption Law, HG.org

http://www.hg.org/adoption.html

A compilation of information about adoption, starting with a brief explanation of this area of law, termination of parental rights, open vs. closed adoptions, adoption by a step-parent, and working with an adoption law. This is interesting but the meat comes next, in my opinion, in the sections on knowing your rights, articles on adoption law, and so on. You might also take note at the top of the web page of a hyperlink to “Family Law,” which provides a good overview of that area of law as well.

HG.org (formerly Hieros Gamos.org) is a free legal directory with an abundance of information about American law. It provides a search engine to look for attorneys, topics of law, and more. If you have not already spent time looking at each section of this legal directory, I encourage you to do so.

HG.org is not the only legal directory, but I think it is one of the best. I have already provided a list of similar resources on the Internet at https://researchingparalegal.com/2013/10/23/some-of-the-best-free-legal-research-guides-on-the-internet-no-wikipedia-does-not-count/. If you have not already had an opportunity to visit that link, I think you will find the resources there worth bookmarking. -CCE

Some of the Best, Free Legal Research Guides on the Internet – no, Wikipedia does not count.

Even when you or your firm have access to Westlaw or Lexis, you may still want or need access to free resources to do your legal research. 

Most, if not all, states provide a free website for state law (e.g., statutes, case law, state constitution, attorney general opinions, etc.). Perhaps the easiest route is to go to that state’s official government website. The state court’s websites use their own search engines – do not expect each to work the same as the others.

Here is another resource that will also lead you to state law: 50 States (http://www.50states.com/). (Click on the state, and scroll down to “Courts” and click on “Judicial System.” 

Below is a selection of websites that provide comprehensive links to state, federal and, in some instances, international law.
