 Where
we make an internal link (that is to content or another location on our site)
we use the traditional web link format; example Entitlement
Programs. Links to external content, such as the text of a case or a law
review article, are signified by various links that appear as parentheticals
following the citation. The first links that are given usually are free to the
public and do not require registration. In some cases the link text indicates
the type of document that you will retrieve (e.g., HTML or PDF). In other cases
we identify commonly used HTML sources such as Findlaw or the Legal Information
Institute.
- [HTML] -- A basic web address that when accessed will display a web page
in your browser. Example: 42 U.S.C. § 423 [HTML]
