Raleigh, the capital and second-most populous city in North Carolina, is often referred to as the "City of Oaks." Thanks in large part to the success of Research Triangle Park -- which has spawned numerous technology companies -- Raleigh is one of the nation's fastest-growing cities. But with an influx of new residents comes an increased likelihood of fender benders, injuries, and other matters requiring legal assistance. For someone new to the legal system, it can all be quite daunting. This section includes Raleigh-specific articles and local resources, including a directory of courthouses and a step-by-step guide to first steps following a car accident in the city.
