Hello all,

FindLaw is happy to announce that it has made a database of all Supreme
Court cases since 1937 assessable for free to all.

The cases are searchable by citation, case name and full text and are
browsable by year and US Reports volume. The cases contain US Reports page
markers and hyperlinks within the cases to other cited cases for easy
navigation.

The URL for the database interface is:

        http://www.findlaw.com/casecode/supreme.html

It can also be reached from the FindLaw main index page at

        http://www.findlaw.com/

We also make available the html code for searching the decisions from your
own web pages. The HTML code is available at URL:

Peace,

Tim Stanley
