As multi-jurisdictional practice continues, it is more important than ever to have a source where you can find out the status of legislation in other states (and sometimes even your own!). While the Legal Information Institute at Cornell (http://straylight.law.cornell.edu/states) is a great source for all matters judicial and legislative, Stateline.org is a wonderful alternative source to help you navigate through pending legislation around the country.

If you’re ever at a loss for facts or want to look up the less common or obscure definition, or if you simply want another “take” on something you thought you already knew, try this site.

There is also a lot of very good information to be found here.
