AltLaw: Free Online Federal Case Law

AltLaw is a project dedicated to making federal case law available and searchable at no charge online. The site currently features US Supreme Court and Federal Appeals cases, generally from the last 10 to 15 years. A joint-project between the Columbia Law School’s Program on Law and Technology and the University of Colorado Law School's Silicon Flatirons Program, the project is in “Beta” stage, a work in progress. The site aspires to provide advanced search features such as “proximity searching, Boolean, concentration, wildcards, etc” and to increase their coverage of federal case law in the future. The site carries important disclaimers such as “[w]e cannot guarantee that we have every case in the periods listed” and “we recommend that before relying on our site, you double-check your results with another legal research resource.” Some of the features are currently rough around the edges, such as proximity searching, but AltLaw is intriguing nevertheless. Visit http://altlaw.org to try it out and for more information.
