Forget online dating, blogging or even emails — it’s divorce court and fender benders that are bringing Americans online today.
That’s because almost three times as many U.S. adults today turn to the Internet to get advice and information about legal matters than they did six years ago (27 percent in 2006 versus 10 percent in 2000), according to a new survey conducted by Harris Interactive.
Other than family and friends, the Internet is now the single biggest source for legal information, outpacing books and newspaper/magazine articles, which came in at just 12 percent.
