MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- Oct. 20, 1999 -- FindLaw, Inc., the leading Web portal focused on law and government, today introduced Summaries of Law by FindLaw Professionals ( http://profs.findlaw.com), acollection of monographs covering a wide range of laws that impact businesses and individuals.

``FindLaw Professionals are a group of well-respected authorities in their legal practice areas,'' noted Peter Krakaur, Director of Strategic Alliances at FindLaw. ``They were chosen because they have demonstrated an authoritative understanding of the law through their work and regular writing and speaking engagements.
