    As a lawyer I rely on internet based research, the resources from sites such as findlaw are invaluable.

    I think findlaw is totally overrated and a complete rip off. I find that free legal research sites and online articles posted by real attorneys, as opposed to content writers making $5.00 a day in India are better.
