It is always best to consult a lawyer suitably licensed to give legal
advice in the jurisdiction of interest.

Lawyers for US ISPs should be aware of the http://www.cybercrime.gov/ web
site from the Computer Crime division of the US Department of Justice.
It provides a good overview of US Federal law on "computer crime" and
suggested investigation techinques. However, they have nothing to do with
National Security investigation interceptions.  The American Library
Association http://www.ala.org/alaorg/oif/ provides information which is a
little easier for non-lawyers to read.  The Electronic Frontier Foundation
http://www.eff.org/ has links to numerous groups.
