How To Use This Site

Beedlebum has been designed to give you the most up to date legal information available in the quickest time. The look and feel of the site is very simple and uncluttered, with all the hard work being done behind the scenes. Even so we have had some practitoners ask for instructions on how to get the best from the site so here goes.

As you will know, this is the home of Beedlebum and you really have 2 main options, those being [1] search striaght away or choose a search type. You will also notice the links at the bottom of this and every page. These are links to very useful site functions such as contacting us at Beedlebum, finding out about us and what we do and submitting a site for indexing.

When you click the jump menu button ["Choose Search Type"] it will display not only the search menu but other useful legal links for everyday practice.

The searches are spit into 4 types;

1. Search Criminal Practice
2. Search Civil Practice
3. Search the UK Web, and
4. Search the UK Press

Once you have chosen your search type Beedlebum will conduct a search for that speciific type. If you wish to search in Criminal Practice and then to look for a civil matter then you will have to change the search type again by using the jump menu as before.

The UK Law News and the UK News Headlines are up to the minute news feeds being displayed directly on Beedlebum. Clicking on any of the headlines will take you directly to the article.

Okay, we have decided to use Beedlebum to Search Criminal Practice for the search term "secion 4 fraud". In normal circumstances and using a generic search engine this will bring you back an innordinate amount of results, from all over the world, the vast majority of which will not be relevant to your needs and may not even appear in the first 50 pages.

What Beedlebum will do is search the pages that have been mapped and indexed for Criminal Practice that will bring you the most relevant legal pages from the UK for those search terms.

So here is our results page. As you can see the results are purely from the UK and are relevant to the search for "section 4 fraud". All you have to do now is click the link and use the information. It really is a simple as that.

Remember, Beedlebum is completely free to use and is constantly being refined and updated. The 2 practice searches are anaysed and updated every 24 hours to ensure complete access to all the best legal information that is openly available.

We always appeciate new site suggessions from our users and already enjoy a great response. If you either administer or just know of a good legal resource site that you believe should be included in the Beedlebum index then please click here.
