Legal research resources

A wide variety of websites exist to provide legal information.

The ACLU of Ohio does not endorse any of these sites, and merely provides them for your convenience. If you feel your civil liberties have been violated, we urge you to contact a private attorney.

 

Remember that your public library reference department also can provide you with research assistance.
