DRAGNET: Search Free Legal Databases

by Lynn Lenart, Law Librarian on August 27, 2010

in Legal Resources,Lynn Lenart

DRAGNET stands for "Database Retrieval Access using Google's New Electronic Technology," a specialized search engine that was developed by librarians at the New York Law School. This feature enables you to "drag the net" through a group of free law-related Web resources. A DRAGNET search is like a Google search, except that it runs in only a select group of websites, produced by the organizations and entities listed below. The sites were chosen by library staff for their reliability and utility to legal researchers.  Your search retrieves the top 100 hits, ranked for relevance by Google’s search engine.

How to Use
The search box at the top of the page searches all sites listed on the page.  If searching for state law information include the state name in your search.  For instance, if you are searching for the residency requirement for divorce in Ohio, type -> ohio divorce resident.  For national level information just type your words.  Try searching -> Guantanamo.
