www.wikilaw.org
This wiki-like resource is the product of collaboration between a number of international law schools. The site attempts to provide a legal encyclopedia in which anyone can contribute. Jurispedia offers over 1600 articles, and aspires to become the comprehensive legal encyclopedia on the internet. The index, near the right side of the screen, allows the user to choose entries in an alphabetical fashion. Simply click "C", and the site will generate a list of terms beginning with the letter "C". For instance, if you choose "CASA" from the list, you'll find a description of CASA, or the Court Appointed Special Advocate Association.
