Since it is far less expensive to store and access data on the web, legal documents and information sites have been spreading over the Internet, but with all of the sites it can be difficult to know where to start. Professionals and laypeople alike need to find information on general topics, case specific studies, and Supreme Court law proceedings depending upon their motivation and needs. General topics may be found on listservs and online dictionaries to facilitate a basic understanding of legal jargon and procedures. A Listserv is a term used to describe any server emailing list and was originally developed in 1986 using Bitnet. Any person part of the listserv will be included in the emailings for all of the emails sent out; this is similar to a newsgroup except the information arrives via email.
Clearinghouse sites are outsourced database and data filing sites that can be accessed to perform research of any kind. Legal research is often accomplished using clearinghouse services from companies like LexisNexis. Newsgroups are specialized servers that deliver subscribers all of the information similar to an RSS feed of a blog or forum. Multitudes of information can be delivered directly to a newsgroup program for further study and manipulation.
