        Even though this is a campaign website, I also intend it to be used as an educational tool.  I frequently give tours of the courthouse, and I also speak to student, church and community groups about our court system.  Although judges are prohibited from discussing specific court cases or giving legal advice, we can provide legal information and educate people about our courts and our laws.

        Here are some links I find informative and helpful.  Even though I have confidence in these sites, I must give the disclaimer that I am not responsible for their content.

For information on the North Carolina Court System, and our local courts and rules:

www.nccourts.org

The North Carolina legislature, as well as links to the North Carolina General Statutes (state laws) and the Constitution of North Carolina:

www.ncleg.net

The United States Congress, U.S. laws, and the federal legislative process:

www.thomas.gov

The United States Supreme Court:

www.supremecourtus.gov

Also, check Wikipedia for good general information about our system of government and our Constitution:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_states_constitution

This is a great site on the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights:

Please let me know if you have any additional sites to suggest!
