Public.Research.Org recently published 1.8 million pages of copyright-free federal case law online, which is an incredible wealth of knowledge that has previously been beyond the reach of most attorneys without heavy Lexis and Westlaw bills. Now the company that provided it with those cases, Fastcase, unveiled an even larger free library of cases, statutes, regulations, court rules and legal forms. Called The Public Library of Law, it claims to be “the most comprehensive free resource for legal research online.”
PLOL includes all the federal cases Fastcase provided to Public.Research.Org, plus appellate cases from all 50 states from 1997 forward. In addition, it has statutes from all states, court rules from all states, regulations from selected states, the U.S. Code, the Code of Federal Regulations and federal court rules.
Thanks to Robert Ambrogi’s LawSites for pointing out this resource.
