[blindLaw] BlindLaw Digest, Vol 221, Issue 1

[Sarah Badillo]

Is there anyway that you can put the code into HTML format? Maybe if it’s in that particular format, there could be heading levels. Otherwise, I used it on legal databases such as Lexus or West law. That way I could search for what I needed, or just browse back and move to a different subsection. databases in these kind of legal websites should have search field so you could search for keywords or numbers. If all else fails, especially with Westlaw or Lexus, I just made a phone call and they helped me.
