BlackBookOnline: Helping You Get the Dirt


Kudos to Tom Mighell of Inter Alia / Internet Legal Research Weekly fame for highlighting a website for those of you needing to find out background information (criminal record history, bankruptcy filings) on an individual: Black Book Online.

BBO, which is edited by Private Investigator Robert Scott, helps you find the appropriate resources to find the records for which you are searching.

You indicate what type of records (e.g., criminal records, bankruptcy filings) you want to search as well as where you want to search, and BBO guides you to the appropriate online resources (some of them are free, some of them are not) for those criteria.

I particularly liked the "Custom Search" link on BBO's home page which allows you to prepare a search for multiple types of records and jurisdictions.
