Google adds free legal case law research

Via this article:  Free Legal Research by Google & What It Means : My Shingle, Google has released the ability to search case law for free, including state case law.  UNREAL.

To test it out, use this URL:  http://scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search?hl=en&as_sdt=2000.  Scroll towards the bottom to select “Legal opinions and journals.”

This day was probably something the “other” case law providers have dreaded for a while (ergo why they have spent so many resources diversifying their offerings beyond just case law…).
