Nolo - Excellent online guides. You will also find Help With Legal Research and Everybody's Legal Glossary.

Thanks to the work of several law school libraries and other institutions around the country, the links below provide a rich resource for basic research in the field of law. The resources provided here are mostly free and serve to supplement or enhance the resources provided within the Portland area by the University of Maine School of Law Library on the University of Southern Maine campus.

USM Libraries maintain a minimal law collection due to the proximity of the law school library. We recommend that you contact the Law School Library for resources and assistance.
