New Website: AltLaw.org

From Columbia University's press release:

"Aiming to make federal case law fast and easy to search, more accessible to the public – and free – Columbia Law School and the University of Colorado Law School have launched a Web site called AltLaw.org, which has the potential to transform the national landscape of case law resources.

AltLaw.org contains nearly 170,000 decisions dating back to the early 1990s from the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal Appellate courts."

AltLaw.org does have some limits including no state law or district court cases and limited coverage (the past 10-15 years). However, it is a work in progress and, best of all, it's fast & free.
