Do you know what the word “pulchritudinous” means?
If you do, good for you.
For those of you who don’t, your first reaction to that would have been to Google the word, right?
We get it.
The internet has fulfilled centuries of curiosity in just a matter of years with literally everyone relying on search engine queries for our day-to-day tasks. The information on the internet is vast and although it appears to be legitimate, it just might not be.
For professions demanding accuracy, the internet is like an enormous sea full of the treasure of knowledge but can you trust it?
According to various reports, Google is the number one source for legal research and although legal practitioners heavily rely on search engines, they don’t trust them.
Legal firms and bodies process a lot of data on a daily basis and for the data to be accurate is of utmost importance.

Can you imagine going to jail, just because the judge presiding over your case decided to refer to another case that he searched up on Google?
Scary, right?
Don’t worry, that would be an extreme case scenario. This is precisely why legal practitioners have a huge law library that they can refer to, anytime they are researching something.
When you find legislation online, how do you know you can trust it? 👩⚖️🤨🤓 (Choose one of the below or tweet your answer in response)
