Here at By Lawyers we spend a lot of time researching and fact-checking, in all of the areas of law that our publications cover. Over time we have compiled a list of credible and helpful websites which we regularly use – and that list is now available to you, with the publication of our new reference tool — 101 Trusted and useful sites by area of law.
