Two Law-Related Facebook Apps: One for Fun, One for Research

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | April 18, 2008 - 09:03

Looking for something legal-like to add to your Facebook profile? For fun, try Legal IQuiz, a user-generated trivia quiz on the categories Supreme Court, criminal law, torts, minutia & miscellaneous, and the law in TV & movies. It’s kinda hard.

For research, you can add PreCYdent, a new open-source legal search engine / database that Sue blogged about here. PreCYdent gives you a nice, simple search box, and tabs up top to limit your search to a specific category of results. But instead of the typical tabs for searching web, images, video, shopping, etc., you get search tabs for opinions, statutes, GPO, uploaded documents, legal questions and others. It’s kinda cool.
