Setting up your first Web page
Article Abstract:
Attorneys who establish sites on the World Wide Web to promote their services should research the Web carefully before beginning, decide whether to create the page themselves or contract it out, shop carefully for a site host and actively market their site both on and off of the Internet. Browsing helps potential site developers gain familiarity with good Web design and find sites to emulate. Attorneys can easily learn to produce their own HTML-coded Web pages with documentation available on the Internet. Or, they may wish to contract a presence provider. In either case, a service provider will be needed to host the site, and attorneys should seek established, reputable vendors with a T1 or faster connection to the Internet. Once the site is up, attorneys should publicize their page through free listing services such as Yahoo as well as in places other than the Web.

Environmental regulations on CD-ROM
Article Abstract:
Government Institutes' $450 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) on CD-ROM - Environment, Health & Safety electronic reference is a superior alternative to text-based research for attorneys practicing in these areas of the law. The CD makes massive amounts of environment, health and safety information much easier to access than library reference books. CFR features an Index of Tables of Regulated Substances, an Index of Training Requirements and an Index of Sampling, Analytical and Monitoring Methods that can be either included or expelled from search queries. CFR's hypertext links facilitate easy searching and backtracking. The CD's Table of Contents organizes all contents in clear view and its toolbar's trail button can help lost users recover their position. The program is easily installed and copying and pasting selected text in Windows is effortless.

Lawyers on the Web
Article Abstract:
Attorneys and law firms have discovered the power of the World Wide Web as a medium for promoting their services. Close to 200 firms have set up Web presences as of Jan 1995, providing home pages, online brochures and other information. Attorneys are impressed with the amount and the quality of the feedback they receive on their Web sites. Some lawyers and legal organizations are using the Web to provide public services, such as loading legal forms, articles and data on their home pages for users to download. Internet demographics suggest that many Web users may be unlikely to become clients at law firms, but companies specializing in high-tech legal services claim to have attracted many potential customers through their Web sites. Many lawyers have also found the Web to be a convenient place to network with their professional colleagues.
