Exhibit 2.7

CONTRACT OF SALE

    This Contract of Sale is made effective December 8, 1999, between David P. Harriman ("Harriman"), Eugene Meyung ("E. Meyung"), Suzanne Meyung ("S. Meyung"), Andrew Wyszkowski ("Wyszkowski"), and Christina Brown ("Brown"), (together as "Sellers"), and Internet Law Library, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Buyer"). The parties agree to the following terms and conditions of sale and purchase.

1. Purchase Price. Sellers agree to sell and Buyer agrees to buy all of Sellers' interest in Brief Reporter, LLC a Virginia limited liability company, for a total price of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to be paid in shares of common stock of Buyer. The number of such shares shall be determined by dividing a numerator consisting of $1,000,000 by a denominator consisting of the average of the daily closing price of the Buyer's common stock during the five (5) trading days preceding the effective date of this Contract as reported by Bloomberg.com. Sellers' ownership interests in Brief Reporter, LLC are as provided in the attached Exhibit A.

2. If, after the closing of this Contract, there is a public offering, prior to July 1, 2000, for purposes of registering newly issued shares of Buyer's common stock pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Sellers' members, Harriman, E. Meyung, S. Meyung, Wyszkowski, and Brown, are each granted the right of registration for not more than Twenty Five (25%) of their holdings at the time of such registration, provided that this right of registration is not deemed by the underwriters to be detrimental to the public offering. Should a public offering not occur prior to July 1, 2000 or if Sellers' members, Harriman, E. Meyung, S. Meyung, Wyszkowski, and Brown, are not granted the right of registration for any public offering prior to July 1, 2000, then Internet Law Library, Inc. will purchase $125,000 of Internet Law Library stock, within 30 days, from Sellers, based upon the average of the daily closing price of the Buyer's common stock during the five (5) trading days preceding July 1, 2000.

3. Harriman will serve on the Executive Committee of Internet Law Library, Inc., and on the Board of Directors of National Law Library, Inc. for at least three (3) years following the closing of this Contract.

4. Employment Agreements. Buyer agrees to cause National Law Library to offer employment agreements to Harriman, on such terms as the parties shall mutually agree.

5. Right of First Refusal. If at any time during three (3) years after closing of this Contract, Buyer considers selling all or a controlling interest in Brief Reporter, LLC, (or all or substantially all of its assets), as a stand-alone or independent business unit, then Harriman may exercise a right of first refusal to purchase Brief Reporter, LLC from Buyer under terms that are at least identical to the terms offered to Buyer by a third party. Harriman will have fifteen (15) business days from receipt of Buyer's written notification in which to exercise this option.

6. Unregistered Shares of Common Stock. The shares of Buyer's common stock to be conveyed to Sellers as purchase consideration in this Contract are not registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, nor the Securities Commission of any state. Except as provided in paragraph 2 above, any stock issued under this purchase agreement will be subject to section 144 of the SEC Rules and will not be transferable for twelve months from the date of issuance of the stock certificate(s), unless to an underwriter for the purpose of making a public distribution of the underlying shares or unless otherwise exempt.
