A Word of Warning

Despite our efforts to be accurate, these pages must inevitably contain errors. The same goes for the databases you can search from these pages.

We present this website to you with a good-faith representation that the information it contains is generally reliable, but we include in that representation both a request and a warning:

• The request is that you contact us if you notice errors.

• The warning is that no website is an adequate substitute for the advice of a competent lawyer. If your physical, financial or psychological well-being is at risk in any matters related to the information presented here, we strongly urge you to see an attorney.

• Please also note that the statutes presented in these pages are not the official version. While we have attempted to be accurate, we must urge you not to rely on the law as stated in these pages, but rather to use these quotations as a guide to where in the official statutes (available at libraries, law offices, etc.) you might find the relevant passages.
