A Firefox search engine plugin
If, like me, you often find yourself searching for judicial opinions online, particularly to freely-available complete versions, and especially to Federal Circuit Court and Supreme Court opinions, then you’ve probably encountered the opinions at resource.org. I particularly like to link to these versions on my syllabi, because the paragraphs are numbered and then I can specify for students precisely which parts to read, in cases where we aren’t reading the entire opinion.
I just made such searches a lot easier for myself by creating this Firefox search engine plugin that searches resource.org via Google.
I typically know the citation or party name that I’m looking for, and so this search engine plugin puts your terms in quotation marks automatically so that Google searches for exactly that search phrase on resource.org.
In using this plugin so far, I get exactly the opinion I am looking for as the first link far more often than I used to when just using Google. Try it for yourself.
