Via BoingBoing comes news that 1.8 million pages of federal case law will be made available for free online. While this won’t provide the value-add that Westlaw or Lexis do, it still looks at first and second glance like a great resource for those without access to a big law library, and will no doubt be useful for NZ law firms, many of whom don’t subscribe to Westlaw or have access to hard copies of US reports.
