Website Spotlight: Clinton Impeachment


Website URL: http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/clinton/clintonhome.html

I recommend you begin your enjoyment of this website by reading Douglas Linder's overview essay. [middle of the home screen, underneath the picture]

Each of the websites in this "Famous Trials" series has standard sections on the left sidebar labelled (more or less) as follows:

A. Chronology
B. Biographies/Key Figures
C. Selected Images
D. Excerpts from trial transcripts/Summary of evidence
E. Bibliography and Links

Follow your interests in deciding what parts of this main material to use.

Going beyond these normal categories, I myself found the following items (on the left sidebar) particularly intriguing:

From Monica to "Handsome" (letters from her to President Clinton)
Lewinsky's Hellish Day

On my Learning Professor wiki, this website fits within the following U.S.History survey course module:
