1. What is this?
This is a Google Custom Search Engine. The Connecticut Law Search Engine is the main search engine on this site. You use the Connecticut Law Search Engine by entering keywords and sorting the results with the tabs above the results.

2. Why would I use this search engine?
By limiting your search to useful, hand-selected websites, you can (hopefully) find the information you need. You will see tabs above your search results that let you restrict your search to statutes, cases, research reports, briefs, and much more. This should help you locate what you need more quickly.

3. Is this a comprehensive search of Connecticut law?
This is not a comprehensive search of Connecticut law. There are many proprietary databases that provide a much more complete search of Connecticut law. But this search engine may save you time and allow you to quickly discover what is freely available on the web.

4. What are the tabs above my search results?
The tabs are refinements that allow you to restrict your search to specific resources on the web, including statutes, cases, briefs, and OLR reports. Try a keyword search on the Connecticut Law Search Engine and refine your results after you search.
