Get to Know ELI

As you get started with the Emergency Law Inventory (ELI), there are a few important things to know.

 

  • ELI is not legal advice. If you have any questions about what a law means or how it impacts you, consult an attorney.
  • ELI does not interpret the law; rather, it simplifies the complex world of statutes and regulations by providing summaries of legal text.
  • While ELI summaries can help you understand which laws may be relevant, the law itself may not always provide a clear-cut answer to a question.
  • ELI includes laws enacted in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, 8 territories and freely associated states, and the federal government in five legal topics: liability, licensure, scope of practice, workers’ benefits, and protections from threats. See our areas of law page for more information about each legal topic. Although we tried to be as comprehensive as possible, we likely missed some relevant laws. If we did, let us know at elitool@temple.edu
  • If you are having trouble using ELI, please make sure you have installed the most updated version of your browser. The ELI tool supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE 10 or higher. If you are having trouble using the tool, please try a different browser.

 

We hope you find ELI easy to use and helpful! Please email us at elitool@temple.edu with comments, edits, and any other feedback.
