A multitude of legal resources exist on the Web. The builders of this site, FindLaw, as part of the world's largest legal publisher, provide an excellent general resource.

In addition, as an advocate for the rights of the accused and for rational criminal justice policy, as well as the right of every citizen to be informed and assist in his or her own defense, I list below my favorite research, information, and advocacy links:

• For general information on your case, or almost any Missouri case, by case number or party name: Casenet
• For general legal research, my friend Jeralyn Merritt, a Denver criminal defense lawyer and national recognized spokesperson, activist, and advocate for criminal justice, has put together an awesome collection of links to free research cites at CrimeLynx.com
• Jeralyn Merritt also operates a unique Weblog dedicated to informing the public on criminal justice and political issues, which I read virtually every day: Talkleft.com

Some other progressive Weblogs that I read almost every day:

• thismodernworld.com
• bobharris.com
• huffingtonpost.com

For up-to-date anaysis of search and seizure law, my friend John Wesley Hall of Little Rock writes daily at: fourthamendment.com

Jury service information, for those concerned that some of our laws are harsh and/or irrational: Fully Informed Jury Association
