REVIEWS & ACCOLADES

The Chan Robles Virtual Law Library "Kudos to the creators of this website.  The 'library' in its name is no exaggeration.  It is full of information about Philippine Law, even info that is decades-old.  The site also features news.  It also links you to worldwide resources - the information at your hands has no limit.  The site is very easy to navigate and it's interactive.  In more ways than one, it's better than a real library.  No card catalogs, no grouchy librarians.  Tell me, how many libraries can have the text translated to French, Latin, Spanish, Portuguese or German in just one click?"
