The Internet is tailor-made for delivering self-help legal information. The sites profiled
provide articles and information on almost any legal topic, including tax, insurance advice
and employment law.
Nolo's mission is to make the legal system work for everyone - not just lawyers. The
information on the site helps people handle their own everyday legal matters or learn
enough about them to make working with a lawyer a more satisfying experience.
Go to Nolo’s Plain-English Law Centers
where most of the free information resides. Browse through the 22 categories or go right to
the Small Business, Employment Law or Independent Contractor sections. The site also
has legal, tax and insurance advice for the home-based business.
BusinessLaw.gov is an online resource guide designed to provide legal and regulatory
information ranging from federal minimum wage standards to state drug testing policies.
The goal of the site is to help small businesses identify potential problems early and
take preventative action. The site also acts as a gateway to federal, state and local
information that affects small businesses.
For day-to-day HR tools, the Business Owner’s Idea Café has many useful and timesaving
resources. They offer free forms for employee evaluations, timesheets and response letters
to applicants. Expert columnists address topics related to interviewing, firing, managing
difficult employees, customer service training, employee retention and loyalty. Feast on
the café’s resources.
The NFIB Legal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) private foundation designed to protect the rights
of America’s small-business owners by providing advisory material on legal issues and
by ensuring that the voice of small business is heard in the nation’s courts. It is not a
legal defense fund for small business, but a legal tool to affect precedent-setting legal
decisions that will influence small-business’ bottom line.
