FindLaw launches new legal directory and forms

  • Added a directory of 1.2 million law firms and 35,000 legal articles.
  • Launched a "Find the Right Lawyer" search tool for specific legal issues.
  • Added self-service legal forms for estate planning and starting a business.
  • Introduced a live chat feature to match users with local attorneys.
  • Added a dedicated section for voting rights and election law information.
  • Included links to federal and state case law databases.

The website moved from a security block page to a full homepage. It now shows a large directory of 1.2 million law firms and tools for users to create their own legal documents.

FindLaw updates security wall messaging

  • Removed the long explanation about "malicious bots" and "security verification."
  • Added a short instruction to "Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue."
  • Reduced the total text on the security landing page significantly.

The site changed how it talks to users who are blocked by security filters. This affects how people see the site if their browser settings are strict.

FindLaw adds bot protection security wall

  • The homepage content was replaced by a security verification screen.
  • Access to the legal directory and 35,000+ articles is now behind a bot shield.
  • Users must pass a security check to view federal and state law resources.

The website is now blocking automated tools and scrapers. This makes it harder for people or programs to see their legal articles and lawyer directory without being verified as a human.
