This gateway to information on legal topics that affect daily life, developed and maintained by the American Bar Association (ABA), aims to make freely available easy to understand information about law and the legal system of the United States for the general public. Resources are arranged under the following headings: the courts, criminal justice, buying & selling, your family, your home, your job, your finances and finding a lawyer. The "courts" section aims to give a general overview of the state and federal judicial systems, with links to documents with titles such as Courts and Legal Procedure, Steps in a Trial, and How the Legal System Works. The "criminal justice" section includes links to documentation on topics such as the police, juvenile justice, and victims' rights. There are also links to other ABA resources and webpages for lawyers and students.
