Gale, part of Cengage Learning and a leading publisher of research and reference resources for libraries, schools and businesses, recently announced new updates to Gale LegalForms, its online legal resource designed to help public library patrons, law students and practicing lawyers create accurate and reliable legal documents.

All LegalForms products now include the Law Digest module, which contains law summaries for each state as well as a detailed, yet easy-to-understand, legal question and answer (Q&A) section. Enhancements have also been made to the user interface, making the resource easier to navigate.

"The updated Gale LegalForms product is delivering real-world legal information to customers in usable and customizable formats. The new features are providing additional value to our customers with the specific intent of simplifying the understanding of common law transactions and the forms used to represent them," said Gerald Sawchuk, publisher, public library solutions, Gale. "Gale LegalForms is now even easier to use with summaries of the major laws in language everyone can understand."

Gale LegalForms offers an easy-to-use, state-by-state and step-by-step approach to addressing basic legal matters, such as developing a will, conducting real estate transactions including rental or lease agreements, and more. Users have access to thousands of customizable online legal documents that are available anytime from any place. Many of the forms can be used across all 50 states, while the resource also includes forms unique to each particular state. Coupled with the straightforward interface, users avoid hours of research often required to develop legal documents. Users can simply locate the appropriate form that's needed by using the homepage links, download the form and plug in their information.

Gale LegalForms now also includes a Law Digest module which contains access to a collection of case law summaries for all 50 states that can be used for research. Within each Law Digest, entry users can find additional resources, including government organizations and their contact information, a bibliography for further research, and links to related subjects. The Legal Q&A section also houses a collection of real attorney-provided legal answers to questions from everyday people.
