While surfing the CA courts site, I learned that the state is now providing free access to its case law through Lexis. Usually, access to Lexis costs a ton of money. This offering is huge in terms of people having open access to the law.
There are some limitations. For instance, only published cases are available. It costs money to Shepardize but it at least shows you the warning icons so you have some idea whether the case law is good. Overall, this is an excellent development. Case law should be free and available to all. Now you all have a way to research all of the CA citations I plan to use in the future. :-)
I've put a link to the CA courts Lexis page on my sidebar for easy access.

Wow! How are they doing this? Is the state paying for it? (If so, it might not be around much longer.) Do you think other states will follow suit?
