LLRX.com Update - January 17, 2000

[Cindy Chick]

Dear valued readers of LLRX.com:
You may have noticed that the January 17, 2000 issue introduced a
completely redesigned and enhanced LLRX.com (http://www.llrx.com)

Our Departments (Newstand/Breaking News, Latest Links, LawPro Links,
Meta
Links, LLRX Research Guide, LLRX Resource Centers) are now located on
the left
side of the front page.  These resources are updated regularly, so
please link
to them when you visit. In addition, we have added specialized research
tools to this area (LLRX Research Guide, Rules of Court, Federal Court
Rules on the Web, Search Engines Compared).

The Advanced Search feature will assist you in locating authors, titles,
topics
and issues about which we have published articles on our site.  To
review all
the articles we have published over the course of the past three years,
please
link to the Archives.

Links to new Features, Columns and Extras, published every two weeks,
are
located in the main body of the front page. Our goal with this redesign
was to
create an attractive site with enhanced navigation and improved access
to our
wide, valuable range of content.  We hope you like the new LLRX.com, and
look
forward to hearing from you!

Editors Sabrina I. Pacifici & Cindy L. Chick have been continuously
publishing
this free site for attorneys, law librarians and members of the legal
profession, since November 1996.
