The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'A Pocket Tour of Law on the Internet':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Unlike Rose's "NetLaw" (see reviews), which covers the law in regard to the use of the net, Gross provides a resource of legal information which is available online. (He also--what else do you expect from a lawyer?--provides a disclaimer that this is not legal advice. Said disclaimer is in two languages: English and legal.) I suspect that legal sites on the Web are not those to go to for fun and great graphics (vis the fact that figures 1.2 and 2.37 are the same), but these are well chosen and clearly described. As with a great many books on the "international" Internet, and those that deal with the law in particular, the highest proportion of material here relates only to the United States. Unlike a number of authors, though, Gross realizes this, and provides two chapters on laws of other countries and international law. The writing throughout is clear, informative and lively. The author obviously enjoys lawyer jokes: he lists three sites for them. He also gives us a number of genuine lawyer jokes (made by a real lawyer) sprinkled throughout the text. (For extra points, find the two puns in the legal glossary.) copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
