We have performed high resolution cosmological N-body simulations in which halos of 1011 M⊙ are resolved with over 700 particles. We report on the internal structure of group-sized halos (masses between 1011M⊙ and 1014 M⊙), particularly on how the angular momentum within the halo correlates with the shape of the halo and with the angular momentum at other radii. We find that many halos have an inner region whose angular momentum is disconnected with that of the outer halo.
