This guide contains many internal hyperlinks that will connect to related legal definitions and legal issues of interest. These hyperlinks should make it easy to navigate around the material contained within the site.

I have tried to include common abbreviations in the keywords, so that users will be able to find what they are looking for using short searches. For Example: ABH will find Assault Causing Bodily Harm. Please contact me if you have trouble finding info with your keywords or abbreviation. Use more than one keyword to narrow your search. “Elements aslt” will produce far fewer results than just “aslt”.
