How to use Legal WebFrontTM

Legal WebFrontTM is designed to be very "user-friendly" (easy to use) and intuitive. Simply, click on the category of information you are seeking and if necessary a subcategory, and you will be given direct links to the best online legal research resources. The following explains how to use Legal WebFrontTM to accomplish your research:

Links: Links or "Hyperlinks" are simply connections to another site on the World Wide Web. In Legal WebFrontTM, links are bolded or are a graphic. In some cases, the URL of the resource is included as well. Just use your mouse to click on the bolded title, the graphic or the URL address and you will be taken to that resource immediately. If you are not already connected to the Internet, your Windows 95 dialer will prompt you to connect.

Navigation / Menu Bar: In the left frame of every screen in Legal WebFrontTM is our Menu Bar. This lets you jump to any location from any location in Legal WebFrontTM with one mouse click. The Legal WebFrontTM Menu Bar is always there to help you. In addition, we have added other navigational guides throughout Legal WebFrontTM, including hyperlinks to our general information categories on every page and easy to understand graphics to take you to other locations.

Forms: The forms in Legal WebFrontTM are also very easy to use. On the top of every page in Legal WebFrontTM is a search form. Simply put your cursor in the slot and type your search query or keywords and then click the "Search" button. For all other forms, you do the same; place your cursor in the first form entry slot and type your entry. You can use the TAB key to tab through other slots on the form.

When clicking a "Search" or "Submit" button on a form, click the button ONLY ONCE. It may take a minute or two to respond, but clicking more than once will cause an error. In addition, you can fill out forms offline, but once you click the "Search" or "Submit" button you will be prompted to connect.

Finally, all forms in Legal WebFrontTM are SECURE. This means that the information you send through the forms are only going to one place and no one can view them online. Since Legal WebFrontTM sits on your own personal computer instead of on the Internet itself, you are only transmitting information from your keyboard to 2SCAN Internet Consultants, FindLaw or the other vendors represented by the forms. It is a one-to-one communication and is perfectly safe.

In Navigator 3.x you will see a new window with tabs; in Communicator 4.x you will see a new window with collapsible directories on the left. In Navigator, choose . In Communicator, highlight the "Navigator" directory in the left hand window (it should already be highlighted). On the right hand side of that window, you will see the section "Home page". Click the "Use Current Page" button so that file:///C|/lwf/index.htm appears in the slot OR manually enter file:///C|/lwf/index.htm in the slot. Click "OK". Legal WebFrontTM will now be your Home Page and this will be the first page you come to when you start up Netscape.
