The resource includes lists, synonym rings , subject categories, taxonomies and a number of schemes.
Legal Indexes
The Index is a collection of entries to allow users to locate information in the Lawi Projects. After write down relevant words and phrases
that you need, begin looking up the words and phrases using the index until you have located an applicable subject to review.
