New Websites of Interest
Posted by Maggie Stewart on Feb 19, 2009
Three new websites have recently come online that may be of interest to legal researchers.
Government Information- GPO’s Federal Digital System (FDsys) has recently opened access to public beta testing. The Government Printing Office created this website as a central repository and archive of information from all three branches of the Federal Government. The site may be accessed here. FDsys will expand and replace the information currently available at gpoaccess.gov in mid-2009.
Economic Stimulus Plan- The Obama administration has posted www.recovery.gov as a way for the public to track the money authorized in the new economic stimulus plan authorized by congress and signed in to legislation by the president. Read the full text of the legislation, track the money and view a timeline of future milestones.
Criminal and Environmental Law (Asbestos)- The University of Montana School of Law in conjunction with their School of Journalism has created the blog Grace Case to track the criminal prosecution in the case U.S. v. W.R. Grace. According to the press release by the site creators’ this case is, “the most extensive environmental criminal trial in U.S. history.” The blog will contain daily updates from the trial as well as background on the legal issues presented in the case.
