History 152: Finding Court Cases

Williams subscribes to two legal databases that provide the full text of court opinions:

• Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe - Federal and State Cases
  Use search forms to find court cases by keyword, parties involved, citation, judge or counsel.
• WestLaw Campus Research
  Choose the Law tab to get to the legal resources portion of the database. Use the shortcuts on the left side to search by citation or parties. Use the center part to construct keyword searches.

For in-depth explanations for finding and interpreting case law, see Legal Research: How to Find and Understand the Law (Sawyer Reference: KF 240 .E35 2001).
