New York Law Journal Guide to the Law: http://www.nylj.com/guide
The Guide includes links to more than 400 documents, written in plain English, that explain the courts and laws of New York to non-lawyers. The guide was produced by the New York Law Journal, which is the daily newspaper for lawyers, and the NYS Unified Court System. The materials come only from sources - such as government agencies, bar associations and non-profit organizations - that have no financial interest in the information they provide.
