 Open Jurist is a resource for access to the case law of the United States.
Our organization believes that because the laws of the land are in the
public domain, they should be accessible by the public without restriction
and especially without charge. Our collection includes approximately 647,000
opinions and other transactions from the:

   - United States Supreme Court <http://openjurist.org/us>, beginning with
   the first session in 1790; and
   - Lower Federal Courts <http://openjurist.org/browse-open-jurist>, as
   published in the Federal Reporter beginning in 1880.

Search engine installs with your others on tool bar.  Convenient for quick
search.  I often like a global search just to get idea of syntax variations
related to theory of law.  For that I use VersusLaw, which will search all
states and fed in one pass.  Open Jurist may serve for those who don’t have
that option.

Can’t find much about OJ search connectors, syntax.  Seams to do fairly well
for plain language.
