ABSTRACT
Legal documents are highly suited to Web presentation: as government materials they are public and not copyrighted, so that anyone who wants to post or reference them is free to do so. The ease of publishing information to the Web, and the rapid increase in material available and access to it, has been a boon to the forensic psychiatrist. Much legal material that was previously available only to those with fairly expensive subscriptions to such legal databases as Lexis or Westlaw, or to those who could physically travel to a law library, is now available to any forensic psychiatrist with an Internet connection.
