Legal Eagle Links >> Updates
Welcome to the Legal Eagle Links update page that is intended to keep you informed of the changes that are happening with this site.
 
23rd June 2002 It has been a busy few months for me. I have finally qualified as a Solicitor and have moved jobs and house . I am now back in the "Fair-City" of Dublin as a State Solicitor with the Office of the Chief State Solicitor. Some updates in the Solicitors Section and with the election and change in Government Departments I am waiting on their sites to change before amending the links.
28th February 2002 The work continues on LEL>> Northern  Ireland. I have also added the Labour Court site to the Rep. of Ireland Court Pages. Also added in the Irish Student Law Review in the Journals Section. The UCC Students Law Society also gets a link.
26th February 2002 LEL >> Northern Ireland is approximately 90% on-line and for the size of the site this means that an awful lot of pages are working! I have been busy checking the links and adding loads of links. Thoughts and comments are welcome!
17th February 2002 A new introduction page for the expanded Legal Eagle Links pages now including Northern Ireland. The Norther Ireland pages are taking a little longer than anticipated to compile but some of the pages are fully functional. New sites have been added to the Solicitors pages and a broken link to the Equality Agency has been restored.
6th January 2002 The Christmas decorations have come down, the Euro has arrived, and LEL gets a Northern Ireland page. This was envisaged at the start but only now comes about. Currently the pages are under construction but they should be fully functional by 31st January 2002 (Some of the javascripts are taking longer than expected and are time consuming to debug ... the things I do for you all!). 
8th December 2001 A new topic of Data Protection so that you can keep an eye on Big Brother Laws. Also, some new firms added to the Solicitors pages (thanks to all for the submissions). Finally, some Christmas decorations to get you all in the seasonal spirit.
1st December 2001 I revisted all the Government Sites and have added some interesting new sites, including amongst others the Prison Service and the Register for Births Deaths and Marriages. A new Topic of European Union linking you to all the sites you can imagine. 
28th November 2001 I have been busy debugging some of the scripts and now think that these pages should work fine on the vast majoruty of browsers. I have also added some fancy Javascripts. Just however over the main-headings on the homepage and have a look at the colourful popup boxes. Many thanks to those who spotted the broken link in the Topics>> Conveyancing page. The Revenue link now works. And finally ... I have found a homepage for a firm of solicitors in County Meath! Also, Law Societies & Bar Associations from all over the world were added.
8th November 2001 Some more sites! The Topic Links has a new category of Conveyancing & Property Law. Also, the Intellectual Property Links page now provides a link to the new Patents Office site that has come on-line. Also, the Wexford Solicitors Links has a new link.
22nd October 2001 I have added the OASIS site provided by the Government which provides useful answers to practical issues. Also added is the Irish Lawyers on Line.
12th October 2001 Some technical updates! Not only is the site Microsoft Internet Explorer viewable, but I have now made the site Netscape6 friendly. Those who use IE should notice no difference, but Netscape browsers will now see an in-line pink bar and no Marquee error! Making the pages compliant to both browsers turned out to be more difficult than I had first anticipated dues to the different methods each use to display frames. Thanks to your browsing a broken link was spotted in the Sligo Solicitors section. This broken link is now gone and in its stead is a live link. I spotted that the Home Button was giving trouble, but I have edited the HTML to correct this and give a more pleasing effect.
7th October 2001 A lot of new changes within a few days! The "Who is LEL" is updated. More links in the Source and Research. The area that I have been working on for a while is the "Find a firm of Solicitors". My artistic skills have resurfaced with a map of the country drawn by myself. This is a quick way of locating solicitors around the country. Other subtle changes are that a lot of the graphics have been cleaned and sharpened up.
6th October 2001 Unfortunately, I have been rather busy of late. However, things are back to a less hectic setting and I have had a look at my pages again. New additions are the Irish Legal Information Initiative and Infoconsult. I have spotted a few minor bugs on some of the pages and put these right. If you a screen resolution of greater than 600x800 you will notice a more pleasing effect.

I have also decided to remove the Library of Links to articles on various topics as despite e-mails to the respective sites requesting positive consent to deep-linking, I have not received replies. So, playing it safe, I have removed the links.

1st September 2001 From your feedback it would appear that the Topic pages are the most popular and hence more work will go into them. For the moment, the Employment page has been updated with a link to the Office of the Director of Equality Investigations which provides cases. The Employment page has also been re-organised. A new Topic of Consumer and Food Law has been added. This may appear a strange combination at first but given the recent (multiple) crisis over different food scares, I have decided to group them together. The Professional pages have been updated with some useful Tax links, together with links to the Society of Young Solicitors and to SADSI. Also, a new Topic has been added, that of Northern Ireland.
27th August 2001 The Legal Eagle Links >> Web Library is slowly coming on-line. This brings together in one central location documents that are posted on the internet by practitioners and academics writing on various topics. To view the library, simply click on a Topic and the documents are all listed. Currently under construction are Employment and Computers & IT.
   
22nd August 2001 Many thanks to all those who have provided feedback. Changes carried out today include a new Topic page of Partnership Law. New sites added to the Computers and IT Topic. The Intellectual Property Topic page has been amended with new sites added. The Source and Research page has been amended separating the Irish from the International sites. Spelling errors are being thinned out though I'm sure some will continue to survive! Please feel free to point them out!
   
20th August 2001 The Topic pages continue to grow and expand! Two amendments have been implemented. Firstly a new topic of "Intellectual Property Law". Secondly, the Planning pages have been expanded and updated.
 
18th August 2001 Unfortunately, the Legal Eagle Links e-mail address is not working. This is being rectified at the moment and should be up and running within the week ... or so the technical people tell me. In the meantime, feel free to use the alternative mail address of legaleaglelinks@eircom.net.
 
27th July 2001 Legal Eagle Links >> Ireland goes online!!! After much thought and planning, and also much searching for sites and realising that there had to a better way of finding a useful site that would aid in search and research of law, I put together these pages.
