United Kingdom Research
http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/
Her Majesty’s Court Service provides administration and support for most of
the courts in the United Kingdom. This site provides a lot of court
information, including dockets for court hearings, a court finder with
details on the location and hours of each court, access to helpful forms and
leaflets, a nice set of news links, and more.
United Nations Data
http://data.un.org/
The United Nations goes Web 2.0 with this site, which provides access to UN
databases, searching over 55 million records. When you search the database,
you get several options — you can preview the information, download the
data in XML or spreadsheet format, or explore the dataset further. The
search tool also allows you to filter the results by category. You’ll also
find a glossary of terms, a wiki, and profiles for the countries of the
world.
