[blindlaw] Google introduced free legal research tool

[Bill Spiry]

I've found it a great way to get the cases quickly, searches pull up most of
the same hits as westlaw and Lex, no headnotes though and the page numbers
are a bit less obvious as they don't use the "**" methods. Generally for
going to a particular case or starting your research it's a fantastic
alternative.

I thought I should post this here since no one yet has done so.

I can tell you that I wished I had that in Law School. It is very very easy
to read a case on Google with JAWS.

I strongly advise law students to use it whenever your task is to simply
read a case... it is much faster than Westlaw. IT is not, however, a
replacement of Westlaw and others. It is a basic tool to search for and read
states and federal caselaw.

Go to
www.scholar.google.com

type your search and down arrow to select the check box that says legal
research or something to that effect.

Enjoy...
