Legal Terminology and Class Notes: The course material is supplemented by Web pages on the World Wide Web accessible through web browsers from the computer labs on campus and through your own personal computer if you have a WWW account off campus.
These web pages also give you the means of contacting the professor via email directly from the WWW along with other information on the course.
