<p>
The JURIS data base contains much of the same legal material as the law
library.  The obvious difference is that on JURIS these materials are
stored electronically in computer files instead of in printed volumes.
The documents in the data base are also organized in much the same way
as their counterparts in the law library.  The documents are divided
into different collections or groups.  Each group, in turn, is organized
into a number of different files.  For example, the files in the CASELAW
group include the federal reporters volume for volume;  the statutory
files contain the U.S. Code, Public Laws, and Executive Orders;  and the
digest files contain the West Publishing Company's Digests as they
appear in the printed volumes.  The data base is frequently updated and
expanded to meet the needs of the federal legal community.  The general
legal data base currently includes the full text of over 225,000 federal
cases, including headnotes, as well as headnotes from over 475,000 state
court cases.  The data base also contains a large number of statutory,
regulatory, and administrative files.  The following pages contain a
summary of the JURIS data base.
