Criminal Law

: Fourth Amendment

Research tip, using following post

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

In the following post, I went to Google Scholar to get a free public version of the cited cases to give links in the quote from the case. It worked much faster than going to Westlaw or Lexis or free sites like Findlaw or LexisOne. Bookmark Google Scholar so it will come up quickly. Copy the citation into the research block for "legal opinions and journals" and click "search." The case comes up in about one second. I don't have the time to put in these links myself in the future, and I can't afford to hire it done, but Google Scholar will make running down citations quick and free. Whether intense research will be as easy, I doubt it. Westlaw's digest system, developed 135 years ago, powers it because word proximity searches within headnotes can find thing other sources cannot.continue to full post
