Prepositions, ending with
- When I consulted Black's Law Dictionary, I could not find the word for which I was looking.
- The contract required Williamson to pay $3000, but it did not say to whom he should make the payment.

Your writing would sound more natural and would be more crisp and vigorous if you would write these instead:
- When I consulted Black's Law Dictionary, I could not find the word I was looking for.
- The contract required Williamson to pay $3000, but it did not say who he should make the payment to.
- If you represent health-care providers, Section 282 contains key regulations you should be aware of.

I think it's worth noting that you still have better options, even if you don't want to end with a preposition:
1. When I consulted Black's Law Dictionary, I could not find the word I wanted.
2. The contract required Williamson to pay $3000, but it did not say who he should pay.
3. If you represent health-care providers, section 282 contains key regulations, which you should know.
Agreed. Some other alternatives:
1. When I consulted Black's Law Dictionary, I could not find the word I was seeking.
2. [Same as Gabriel's.]
3. If you represent health-care providers, you should be aware of key regulations in Section 282.
Someone once told me that Winston Churchill was credited with saying, "The rule against ending a sentence with a preposition is a rule up with which I shall not put."
Actually, I didn't know that was a mythical rule! I never minded the sound or flow of the sentences in your examples, But knowing that it bugs other people, perhaps I'll refrain from now on.
One writing teacher advised of another rule you my violate for better writing: the rule against splitting infinitives. "To boldly go where no man has gone before" sounds better than "to go boldly where no man has gone before."
mythical?
