If you are doing a research paper on the topic of Same-Sex Marriage, here is another helpful Web site. "50-state rundown on gay marriage laws" is hosted by Stateline.org. It provides an overview of current legislation and proposals to change state marriage laws. You will also want to look at our subject guide on Gay Rights for additional resources.

Another potential "Hot Topic" to consider for a paper is the upcoming effort to reform Worker's Compensation in California. This Web site from the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California is a wonderful resource. It gives an overview of the current legislation, the "basics" of worker's comp, worker's comp and the Schwarzenegger Administration, and links to additional web sites, journal articles and books.
