A computerized network links individual lay users, referred to as “standard users,” with qualified professionals in one or more disciplines, such as law, medicine, engineering, accounting and architecture, who are referred to as “participating professionals.” Business entities, such as corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies, can also participate as “enterprise users,” with linkage through the network to both standard users and participating professionals. The network enables standard users, participating professionals and enterprise users to communicate, share information, conduct studies, and negotiate and/or create documents relating to the professional disciplines.
