"The mission of the lawforwa website
is to give the people of Washington easy access to information on the law,
the courts, the government, and civic rights and responsibilities."
The lawforWA website consists of a
series of links to reliable and useful information on many aspects of
Washington law. Nonlawyers and students will find the site especially
helpful.
The site is organized into five
sections:
- law and government overview
- prevent and solve legal problems
- finding and working with lawyers
- resources for K-12 teachers
- resources for the media
More specific selections are found
under each category. For instance, under the "prevent and solve legal
problems" heading, one finds:
- animal and pet law
- business law
- civil rights and liberties
- consumer law
- courts
- criminal law
- disability law
- domestic violence
- and other topics
Entries include the original source
and the types of questions that the source answers. Among the sources are
organizations such as:
- the Animal Legal Defense Fund
- the Federal Trade Commission
- Findlaw
- Nolo Press
- the Northwest Justice Project
- the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
- the Washington Attorney General's Office
- the Washington State Bar
Association
