See the bottom for more information, including instructions on how to obtain updates.) === This chapter describes law-related resources made available by US government organizations. An organization in this chapter would most likely have a domain name ending in ".gov" (government). This chapter is divided into four sub-sections: 1) US Federal Executive Branch, 2) US Federal Judicial Branch, 3) US Federal Legislative Branch, and 4) US State Government Organizations.

Securities and Exchange Commission - EDGAR Filings. The Internet EDGAR Dissemination project is a research project to investigate how such large data archives can be made easily available to the general public. The Internet EDGAR Dissemination project allows you to receive any 1994 filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that are available to the public. The data in this project consists of electronic filings by corporations to the SEC. Not all corporations currently file electronically, but those that do participate in the EDGAR filing system. Because this is a research project, you should expect the data formats and access methods to change. The information is available via e-mail, FTP, Gopher, and WWW: URL: mailto::mail@town.hall.org (with "HELP" in the body of the message) URL: ftp://ftp.town.hall.org URL: gopher://gopher.town.hall.org URL: http://www.town.hall.org For, more information, see the following file: URL: ftp://town.hall.org/edgar/general.txt 2.1.16.

URL: mailto::Publications@WhiteHouse.GOV (with "send info" in the body of the message) White House Publications are available via anonymous FTP from numerous organizations, including the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. URL: ftp://cpsr.org /cpsr/clinton/ 2.1.17. White House, The. The White House has several e-mail addresses including 75300.3115@compuserve.com, MCI Mail "White House," president@whitehouse.gov, and vice-president@whitehouse.gov. The ".gov" addresses were created in June 93 and appear to be the best. Also, a service based on the Clinton volunteer e-mail campaign still exists. For more information send a message to clinton-info@campaign92.org with "help" as the subject.

US Federal Government - Judicial Branch. 2.2.1. Supreme Court Decisions - Project Hermes. US Supreme Court decisions are available online as part of "Project Hermes." On May 11th, 1990 the United States Supreme Court announced that it was beginning a two-year experimental program with the objective to rapidly provide copies of the Court's opinions in electronic form to as wide an audience as possible. One of the twelve participants is a noncommercial, nonprofit, consortium composed of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), EDUCOM, and the National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN). You can electronically receive the full text of the Court's opinions within minutes of their release--free. The consortium grants permission to download, reproduce, or re-post any of the Supreme Court opinion files PROVIDED NO CHANGES OR EDITING ARE MADE TO THE SUBJECT MATERIAL. The consortium would greatly appreciate it if source credit were given to CWRU, EDUCOM, and the National Public Telecomputing Network if these files are used. The following are two of the anonymous FTP sites that maintain Supreme Court rulings: URL: ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/hermes/ URL: ftp://ftp.uu.net/government/usa/supreme-court/Index 2.2.2.

Electronic versions of many US court documents and opinions are available, for the most part free of charge (except, of course, for telephone charges), for US courts. (Note that some of the 800 numbers charge a fee.) Several systems are in use, including Electronic Dissemination of Opinions System (EDOS) (also known as Appellate Court Electronic Services (ACES)), and Public Access to Court Electronic (PACER). In addition many courts allow ELectronic Filing (ELF) of court document, and information regarding pending cases is often available via the Voice Case Information System (VCIS), a telephone-accessible system. Most BBSs require registration via an initial voice telephone call. The registration and BBS phone numbers have been listed by state. "DC" stands for District Court, "BC" stands for Bankruptcy Court. Circuit court phone numbers have been listed for each state in the circuit (i.e. the 1st Circuit BBS phone number has been listed in the Maine section, not because the BBS in in Maine, but because Maine is in the 1st Circuit.

This document is being distributed under this arrangement. We have found these compilations tend to appear on various mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please contact us and we may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author include: - use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution: - automated mail server service - FTP archival - automated posting - a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy, and coverage of the document enormously through email feedback - potential professional inquiries for the use of your document in other settings, such as newsletters, books, etc. - with us as your sponsor, we will also take care of the technicalities in the proper format of the posted version and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' to focus on the basic updates alone The choice of who we `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always have the option of handling the submission process yourself. See the FAQ submission guidelines FAQ in news.answers.
