United States Supreme Court Opinions
The Legal Information
Institute, a part of the Cornell
Law School, offers a large quantity of on-line legal reference works, including various opinions of the United States Supreme Court.
Both recent
and historic (before 1990)
Supreme Court opinions are available on-line. Where these sources do
not have a direct access to some opinion, they generally refer you to material
maintained by other index sources, including particularly
Findlaw, Inc.
