www.ReUniteTheStates.org: a user friendly legal self-help website
- thousands of legal term definitions organized by category – The site uses Ballantine’s and Black’s Law Dictionaries, which are recommenced on the US Court of Federal Claims’ website – so you know the definitions found throughout the site are credible. Compare the simplicity this website to opening up any law dictionary – you’ll find the website much more user-friendly.
- Federal Rules of Procedure simplified – this unfinished section of the website untangles the very-confusing Federal Rules of Procedure, and turns them into a DIY step-by-step walkthrough – including attaching direct links to court forms from UScourts.gov in places where they are needed.
- a section on holding public officials accountable
