State criminal law, verified against official sources
A national collection of state-specific criminal-law references. Each state library publishes the criminal statutes in force, the charges they define, penalty classifications, and the legal concepts the statutes themselves define, labeled with the legislative session they are current through.
Alongside the reference, a directory of the criminal-defense firms that practice in each county — with a verification layer, so you can tell which firms have had their bar license and standing checked and are confirmed to primarily practice criminal defense.
