This article focuses on legal and related research resources that are available for free on the web. I am an attorney and law professor, and this information is provided to assist attorneys, students and the public in conducting legal and related research. I have included some of the best useful and organized direct links in the website referenced below. The site is continually updated with new and revised material.
There are a large number of web resources for conducting legal research on the web. Most notably are Lexis and Westlaw that provide a plethora of state and federal materials for a monthly subscription fee. Both these sites do a tremendous job of organizing, finding, validating and retrieving legal documents and many other related materials. However, there are plenty of sites containing free searchable databases that can be very useful to the attorney, paralegal or legal researcher. Several of these sites are outlined below, you can also find a comprehensive list of organized direct links to the sites by going to : http://lakelandlawyers.yolasite.com/ and scrolling to the legal research section. You can also link to any state or federal court.
Government Websites:
A wealth of legal information can be located in state and local government websites. It is a good idea to bookmark these sites for easy reference. These sites will allow you to contact government agencies quickly and efficiently. Most all government websites will have links to the judiciary including links to all state and federal courts. In addition the court websites usually contain access to state district and federal circuit case law opinions, searchable by date, party, and key word.
In addition you can locate and search statutes, constitutions and many other materials. Court websites may also allow you to access all court dockets as well as all pleadings that have been filed in a case. This feature can be very useful by providing templates for drafting routine and complex pleadings.
Other Free Leal Research Websites:
In addition to government websites, there are several impressive sites containing searchable databases of state and federal law. For instance, Findlaw and Megalaw provide comprehensive databases for locating case law, statutes, forms and many other resources. Google Scholar is a useful resource that contains an abundance of full text state and federal case law, citations, articles and much more. Law school websites can also provide great resources for locating legal materials. Check your local state Bar association, they may provide free web based research resources such as FastCase and online state bar journals. Bar Journals cannot be overemphasized, journal articles can provide you with a wealth of case law and an, analytical framework to assist you in your research. By visiting the above referenced site, you can also link to state and federal statutes and court rules. There is an additional link section for other research materials such as legal dictionarys, legal encyclopedias and periodicals.
Related Research Sites:
Law Enforcement; Fire/ Rescue and Hospitals:
Criminal law attorneys,Personal Injury attorneys, paralegals and others will find it helpful to be able to quickly contact law enforcement, emergency agencies and hospitals. It is a good idea to have this contact information readily available. These institutions can provide much needed information to assist in criminal and civil investigations and to aid in assessing the merits of a personal injury case. Much of this information is public record and can be easily accessed.
Often clients seek local legal representation though the alleged crime or injury event may have occurred in another jurisdiction, even outside the state. Law enforcement can provide police reports, fire departments can provide results of investigations as to the cause of the fire, and hospitals can provide medical records. You can link directly to national databases for, police, sheriff, fire department and hospitals by visiting the above reference web site.
Free Public Records/ People and Business Locator Sites:
The list of locator sites on the web is virtually endless, most of these sites charge a fee for their services and in some cases it is necessary to pay for a comprehensive search or hire a private investigator. There are a number of websites, however, that provide a surprising amount of information regarding an individual or business free of charge. For example, some free sites will display, name, address, phone, age, neighbors, relatives, satellite or 3D interactive photo of the residence (aerial or street level), profession, work address, map, published articles, web pages and more!
A staple locator tool is an online phone book with reverse phone number and reverse address capabilities. Other free sites can be used to locate businesses. Registered corporations can usually be quickly located by going to a states corporations web page that displays name, address, registered agent and other information. Public records databases can be used to locate people and business, assets, real property, marriage and divorce records and much more. Interactive maps are also a great locator source and can provide detailed geographic images. You can find direct links to some of the best locator and public records databases that I have found at the above referenced site, there are also two popular map sites and a world phone book. Scroll to “Global Search Tools”.
News and Information Sites:
Information on your legal topic may be found in the local, national or international news media. You may also need to contact the news media to get more information, to report news or submit an article. Most news organizations broadcast online video content that can be easily viewed or incorporated into your research. To link to some of the major news sources including news video, visit the above referenced site. News stories are a good way to quickly keep yourself abreast of topics that you may be interested in. Another fun social resource is Justin tv, the site has a selection of video channels of interest including news and allows you to share your thoughts with other viewers.
I sincerely, hope this information is helpful in assisting you with your research. If you have a suggested research source please email me at the address located at http://lakelandlawyers.yolasite.com/ and I will be happy to review your suggestion for inclusion, no spam please. Specifically, I am looking for law and related searchable databases that are user friendly and free! Thanks for reading and best wishes for your successful researching.

Map projection concerns the science of mathematical cartography, the techniques by which the Earths dimensions, shape and features are translated in map form, be that twodimensional paper or two or three dimensional electronic representations. The central focus of this book is on the theory of map projections. Mathematical cartography also takes in map scales and their variation, the division of maps into sets of sheets and nomenclature, and addresses the problems of making measurements and conducting investigations which make use of geodetic measurements and the development of graphical methods for solving problems of spherical trigonometry, marine and aeronavigation, astronomy and even crystallography.

In 2007, it is estimated that the global refugee population is approximately ten million people. Of these ten million refugees, the majority are living in the developing world. When large numbers of refugees enter a developing country, the host country is affected in many ways. There are economic, political, and social impacts in the host country due to influxes of large refugee populations. As most developing countries are not as prepared and lack some of the resources a developed country may already have, the impacts are much more profound. This thesis studies the impacts that the refugees have on their host country. It also examines the social impacts on the refugees themselves and describes how many of the refugees are suffering in protracted refugee situations. This thesis will analyze the problems associated with housing refugees in developing countries and will discuss solutions to alleviate the problem.

In June, 1867, about a hundred enthusiastic youths were vociferously celebrating the attainment of the baccalaureate degree at the University of Norway. The orator on this occasion was a tall, handsome, distinguishedlooking young man named Alexander Kielland, from the little coasttown of Stavanger. There was none of the crudity of a provincial dither in his manners or his appearance. He spoke with a quiet selfpossession and a pithy incisiveness which were altogether phenomenal. That young man will be heard from one of these days, was the unanimous verdict of those who listened to his clearcut and finished sentences, and noted the maturity of his opinions. But ten years passed, and outside of Stavanger no one ever heard of Alexander Kielland. His friends were aware that he had studied law, spent some winters in France, married, and settled himself as a dignitary in his native town. It was understood that he had bought a large brick and tile factory, and that, as a manufacturer of these useful articles, he bid fair to become a provincial magnate, as his fathers had been before him.

Throughout the 19th century and well into the 20th, the Russian and British Empires played out a chess game of diplomacy, espionage, and military thrusts into Central Asia to protect their expanding interests. When play began, the frontiers of their empires lay 2,000 miles apart, across vast deserts and almost impassable mountain ranges; by the end, they were separated by only 20 miles. Kar…
A unique study of British possession and territorial legitimacy in India as represented by colonial maps, this book focuses on various strategies used by map-makers and surveyors to embed a past into their narratives, and concludes that maps were used both to demonstrate a history of territory and, importantly, to justify the possession of land in colonial times in the Indian subcontinent….

Will China remain stable and what will be the intentions of her leaders? Can Japan map out a new role for the worlds largest economy, another Meiji Revolution? Will Indonesia be able to hang together as it attempts, once again, to find some formula for a nationstate from its very disparate elements? Is India doomed to struggle on in a mire of social and economic problems or will possible recognition of its new hegemonic role in South Asia by the U.S. and the West generally, bring a new era? Will Pakistan overcome its current crisis of identity, somehow synthesizing intensification of Islamic values (whatever that may mean) and nationhood with falling off the precipice of fanaticism? Can Thailand, once again, exhibit that special knack of riding the crest of any wave that strikes the area or is a fundamental new step toward modernization too difficult?

The Fiction of Imperialism attempts to promote dialogue between international relations and postcolonialism. It addresses the value of fiction to an inderstanding of the imperial relationship between the West and Asia and Africa. A wide range of fiction and crisicism is examined as it pertains to colonialism, the North/South engagement and contemporary Third World politics. The book begins by contrasting the treatment of crosscultural relations in political studies and literary texts. It then examines the personal as a metaphor for the political in fiction depicting the imperial connection between Britain and India. This is paired with an analysis of African literary texts, which takes as its theme the relationship between culture and politics. The concluding chapters approach literature from the outside, considering its apparent silence on economics and realpolitik and assessing the utility of postcolonial reconceptualisations.

In Cultural Imperialism, John Tomlinson deals with issues ranging from the ideological effects of imported cultural products, to the process of cultural homogenization, to the nature of cultural autonomy. He examines a number of related discourses: thedebate about media imperialism the discourse of national cultural identity; the critique of multinational capitalism and the critique of cultural modernity. His analysis reveals major problems in the way in which the idea of cultural, as distinct from economic or political, imperialism is formulated.

According to 2002 statistics there are obvious trends to the geographical locations where teenage birth are more common. Significantly more children are born to teenage Mothers in less developed countries.
This is particularly a problem in Africa, with Niger coming top of the statistics with a massive 23 per cent of women aged between 15 and 19 giving birth. This is much higher than any other nation. The second highest is neighbouring Nigeria with around 10 per cent of women in this age group giving birth. The highest statistics outside if Africa is India (7%), who come third. India is followed by South Africa and Mexico, who both have a rate of around 6.5 per cent.
When people speak of Western countries they often mean countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Western European nations, rather than geographical position. Out of these the United States has the highest number of children born to teenage Mothers by some distance, and are the only one of these in the top eighteen. They are seventh on the list, with over 5 per cent of teenagers giving birth. This is almost double that of nineteenth ranked New Zealand.
Within Europe, Eastern European nations have the highest rates. Bulgaria is highest (4%) followed by the Ukraine and Romania (both around 3.8%). Macedonia, Georgia and Russia all return statistics of over 3 per cent. These countries tend to be less developed than their West European counterparts so this follows the overall pattern.
There are a number of reasons that could contribute to these statistics. In some cases the number of births is higher is these areas but the number of pregnancies is not. This can be attributed to Safe Abortion being much more easily accessible in more developed countries. People know where to go if they need abortion services, therefore giving women the choice, thus reducing the number of children born to teenage Mothers.
Sex education is significantly better in developed counties. Children therefore understand the risks of pregnancy. Do teenager is all countries understand this to the same extent? In developed nations young people are taught about contraception and how to use it. The lack of contraception is also key, something that is particularly a problem in Africa. There is a lack of access to adequate contraception, and where it is available can be too expensive for many.
There are society differences as well that can contribute to the pregnancy statistics. In some African counties teenage pregnancy is thought of as a positive as is shows a women is fertile. There is also a pattern of earlier marriage in much of Africa, Asia and South America, with the marriage age trend in Europe in particular, getting later all the time. It is also becoming more common for people in developed countries deciding not to have children.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In humans, preterm birth refers to the birth of a baby of less than 37 weeks gestational age. Premature birth, commonly used as a synonym for preterm birth, refers to the birth of a premature infant. The child may commonly be referred to throughout their life as being born a preemie or preemie baby. Because it is by far the most common cause of prematurity, preterm birth is the major cause of neonatal mortality in developed countries. Premature infants are at greater risk for short and long term complications, including disabilities and impediments in growth and mental development. Significant progress has been made in the care of premature infants, but not in reducing the prevalence of preterm birth. The cause for preterm birth is in many situations elusive and unknown; many factors appear to be associated with the development of preterm birth, making the reduction of preterm birth a challenging proposition.

In 2007, it is estimated that the global refugee population is approximately ten million people. Of these ten million refugees, the majority are living in the developing world. When large numbers of refugees enter a developing country, the host country is affected in many ways. There are economic, political, and social impacts in the host country due to influxes of large refugee populations. As most developing countries are not as prepared and lack some of the resources a developed country may already have, the impacts are much more profound. This thesis studies the impacts that the refugees have on their host country. It also examines the social impacts on the refugees themselves and describes how many of the refugees are suffering in protracted refugee situations. This thesis will analyze the problems associated with housing refugees in developing countries and will discuss solutions to alleviate the problem.

The practice of health policy research in developing countries is characterised by overindulgence in analysis of content, while neglecting policy process, actors and context. This study sets out to generate critical learning on how the latter elements affect the adoption of international recommendations into national health policies in developing countries. The study investigates Ugandas decision to ban traditional birth attendants from assisting in childbirth. The study uses Kingdons Multiple Streams theory as a guiding framework to understand how the policytransfer process precipitated in a drastic decision that stands at odds with international recommendations. It is a qualitative study and semistructured interviews were conducted with 13 policy makers. The book analyses the determinant factors that led to the policy: the understanding and use of evidence in the setting, the mode of actors interaction and the type of policy deliberation, and the political context. The book offers critical insight into this under researched area and will be useful to policy makers, researchers and students of public policy and international health.

In June, 1867, about a hundred enthusiastic youths were vociferously celebrating the attainment of the baccalaureate degree at the University of Norway. The orator on this occasion was a tall, handsome, distinguishedlooking young man named Alexander Kielland, from the little coasttown of Stavanger. There was none of the crudity of a provincial dither in his manners or his appearance. He spoke with a quiet selfpossession and a pithy incisiveness which were altogether phenomenal. That young man will be heard from one of these days, was the unanimous verdict of those who listened to his clearcut and finished sentences, and noted the maturity of his opinions. But ten years passed, and outside of Stavanger no one ever heard of Alexander Kielland. His friends were aware that he had studied law, spent some winters in France, married, and settled himself as a dignitary in his native town. It was understood that he had bought a large brick and tile factory, and that, as a manufacturer of these useful articles, he bid fair to become a provincial magnate, as his fathers had been before him.
