Google Scholar - Google has added a new search function that will locate full-text legal opinions from federal and state courts. Users can type in case names, topics or keywords to find relevant cases. One can try an "advanced scholar" search that narrows searches to opinions in specific states. One can also specify whether they want to search for "all of the words," an exact phrase, or "at least one of the words." Case law goes back about 80 years for federal cases and more than 50 years for state cases. The opinions will have "cited by" and "related articles" links that lead to other opinions and articles that will help one understand the information. Please note, there is no citator service that flags when an opinion is overruled or called into question.
