Findlaw "Going to Seed?"

Robert Ambrogi (Robert Ambrogi's
LawSites blog, 7/12/2005) claims that FindLaw,
a staple in the Internet legal research diet, "has let
its index go to seed, failing to weed out dead URLs,
update site descriptions or add new resources as
they come along." Ambrogi says that the
"deterioration of FindLaw's index is so extreme
as to call into question its usefulness as a primary
resource for legal professionals." Ambrogi then
goes on to describe his check of the integrity
of FindLaw's links. If you love FindLaw, you
may change your mind after reading Ambrogi's
results.

Ambrogi ties FindLaw's decline to its acquisition
by West in January, 2001.
