Google Makes Free Caselaw Search Available in Scholar
On the evening of November 17, Google fired (arguably) the loudest and certainly most recent salvo in the battle for free access to case law...and it apparently came as a tweet. Google has made a database of Federal and State caselaw and legal journal articles available via its Google Scholar search.
Internet For Lawyers has posted a First Look overview of the Free US Caselaw search from Google Scholar.

Live MCLE Seminar in Omaha, Nebraska

Learn How to Search Like a Private Investigator:
How to Access Databases and Public Records to Find Factual and Background Information Learn About Social Network Sites - What You Need to Know About Them
A lawyer's research involves much more than just finding cases and statutes. Whether you're a transactional lawyer looking for information on a company, a consumer attorney tracking down a defective product, a matrimonial attorney searching for a spouse's assets, or a litigator looking for a missing witness, the Internet can be an indispensable source of information.
Nationally recognized Internet trainers and authors of The Cybersleuth's Guide to the Internet will show you how to find and use specific Web sites to unearth factual and investigative information FREE or at low cost on the Net. Instead of first turning to experts, consultants, skip tracers, and private investigators, seminar attendees will quickly
learn how to be their own Cybersleuths.
The ABA’s most recent Technology Survey found that while nearly 90% of attorneys used the Internet "to research news or current events," less than half were using the public records or company background information, both of which are freely available on the Internet. Attorneys who think they're "using the Internet in their practice" because they are reading the news or checking their stock portfolios online run the risk of having cases dismissed, losing cases, or facing a malpractice suit…because of information they’ve missed.
COURSE MATERIALS:
Attendees will receive a copy of Carole Levitt and Mark Rosch’s 400-page book, “The Cybersleuth's Guide to the Internet,” 10th edition, 2009 – a $59.95 VALUE!
