Here\’s a nifty story on the opening of York County (VA) law library. The library consists of a few computers and some printed materials. The library\’s computerized databases include Virginia Law on Disc; and Federal Law Solution, which has U.S. Code and information on U.S. Supreme Court and Fourth District Court cases. Print materials in the library\’s archives include the Code of Virginia; York County Code; and Michie\’s Jurisprudence, an encyclopedia of legal information for Virginia and West Virginia.
\”The software, in addition to Internet access, should be enough to get people started and answer a lot of questions, County Attorney James Barnett said.\”

\”They get into boundary disputes with their neighbors, or they find themselves in some minor legal difficulties, or they\’re in a divorce situation and they\’re questioning something that their spouse\’s lawyer told them — they may or may not be represented on their own,\” he said. \”Or, they just maybe just want to know.\”
