Google Scholar: The Next Westlaw/Lexis Nexis?



Looking for that hard to find court decision or administrative ruling? Maybe it is outside your subscription? Google Scholar may be your answer. Even better...it is free.

http://scholar.google.com/

Simply type in the case and/or citation you are looking for and hit the "Search" button and a list of potential websites with that citation or case will soon appear. Although the service is not perfect, and may not have a lot of specialized holdings, it is a promising tool.

Thanks to WBA Member Christopher Watson for sending this concept to the WBA Blog!
