US case law online
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.

LexisOne has been free for years– it doesn’t provide the capabilities of a full lexis subscription, but access to millions of pages of (americentric) federal and state caselaw.

Sri, what on earth are you doing reading this? Good mention of LexisOne - I just found out about it. Obviously I’ve got access to the full Lexis with bells and whistles, but the free online product is pretty good too.
