if you ar not familiar with it you might find www.findlaw.com helpful. There 
are essentially two sections one for the general public which deals with 
various of the law for laymen and the Findlaw for Legal Professionals 
section which has access to the specific statutes and much case law from 
many states and the Federal system.
