Corpus Juris aims to be the premier provider of online legal research materials and tools. In order to further this goal, the Corpus Juris web development team is embarking on a large-scale project of scanning, digitizing, and formatting original copies of laws, jurisprudence, and legal references for the site. Corpus Juris aims to raise the bar, if you will, in legal research by providing a myriad of valuable legal resources and services. These resources and services will be offered to serve not only the professional members of the bar and bench, but also business professionals, legal researchers, law students, and the general public.

After a brief hiatus in website administration, the webdesign team has returned to continue work on Corpus Juris. This resumption of design work comes with a few surprises to enhance your browsing and researching.
