<a href="http://www.nolo.com/">NOLO</a> legal reference books and various legal forms. NOLO publications are books on common legal topics aimed at non-lawyers, and they are a good resource for people looking to get a handle on common legal problems. They might
also be useful resources for high school students studying business, finance, law, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<a href="http://secondary.oslis.org/find-information">secondary student Find Information page</a> on OSLIS. Since all student content displays on the equivalent educator pages, that means the database is also accessible from the
<a href="http://secondary.educator.oslis.org/find-information">secondary educator Find Information page</a>. I also added access to the bottom of the
<a href="http://elementary.educator.oslis.org/find-information">elementary educator Find Information page</a>, in an area that does not display on the student version of the page.
