New Google Scholar Feature

Posted Monday, November 30, 2009 by Christopher L. Thayer.

Google has announced a new feature, Google Scholar, that allows users to search case law and legal journal articles on a variety of topics, and its free! As lawyers most of us have access to this information via a pay service, but now the public can access this information for free. I believe that this a huge step for Google and for how people will use the internet for research to help answer legal questions for average citizens.

Here is a blog entry describing this service:

And here is a link to the actual service itself:
