 Inner Temple Library: Access to Law

Another really useful starting point for UK lawyers but with good international links and links to legal journals.

 Judiciary of England & Wales

As the name suggests this website provides information about the judiciary and is a good source of information about Practice Directions and judgments of particular note. Most of the judgments and decisions are on other websites but this is a good way of finding them. The site also collects together speeches made by the judiciary.

 Jurist : The Legal Education Network

Jurist is dedicated to advancing the study and understanding of law by providing an authoritative non-commercial forum in which law professors, students, lawyers, judges, journalists and citizens can share a wide range of legal information and ideas. Great starting point for links to more academic pages, information about conferences and courses and some interesting lecture materials or articles particularly on legal thinking and writing. Good links. Not much of specific relevance to the family lawyer.

List of legal abbreviations, advice on how to use legal reference texts, some interactive tutorials on legal internet research and legislation & Sarah Carter's comprehensive guide to the UK legal system. Very good resource for the beginner or if you need a quick refresher.

Factsheets on numerous legal topics, information about how to get advice, and social policy documents.

 Online Guide to Family and Consumer Law

Consumer site giving easy to understand information about a number of family law topics and in theory information on how to find family law solicitors (subscribers to the site I suspect, but there is no information on the criteria for chosen solicitors). When I tried to find a local solicitor I was asked to route my enquiry through the site.

 St Brendan's Sixth Form College A Level Law resources

Impressive site for law students but with good links, a couple of sets of course notes on family law (marriage & divorce and parents & children in the miscellaneous topics section) and other useful course notes if you need a quick reminder of legal principles in other topics. Excellent links pages as well. Don't be ashamed to admit you have sneaked a peek.
