Here's a handy new tool for research from Google. Finding relevant case law on any legal topic is easy these days ... for lawyers, who subscribe to Findlaw or Nexis/Lexis, both of which cost a pretty penny.

Google has now provided a case-law search tool in Google Scholar. It is pretty cool: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/finding-laws-that-govern-us.html

Westlaw and Lexis are *such* a ripoff. The more research sources to undermine their monopoly, the better!

Findlaw.com has dozens of free legal newsletters--every week, they provide summaries of relevant caselaw on a topic, with links to the full text opinion. Law.com has a free daily newsletter with lots of links.
