Decisions of the U.S.
Supreme Court
|
|
The U.S. Supreme Court began distributing decisions electronically under
the auspices of Project Hermes in 1990. Until January of 1997, the
Legal Information Institute (LII), Cornell
University Law School, did not archive decisions at Cornell but instead
built finding aids on top of the existing Internet collection at
Case Western Reserve University (CWRU).
In January of 1997, LII began receiving its own Hermes distribution and
also converted the entire CWRU "backlist" into richly crosslinked HTML
for mounting at the LII site. The collection is updated as new decisions
are received from the Court; some maintenance (notably the addition of
U.S. Reports citation information and the construction of caselists by
party name) takes place on an annual basis each summer. LLI also provides the
U.S. Code. (Posted June

The Internet Law Library |
|
Formerly the U.S. House of Representatives Internet Law Library, this
on-line library was originally provided to the public courtesy of the Office
of the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives as part of
the Counsel's mission to make the law available to the public. The Law
Revision Counsel's goal was to provide free public access to the basic
documents of U.S. law. (Posted June 1996; updated August 2011.)

THOMAS:
Legislative Information on the Internet (Posted June 1996.)
|
|
THOMAS was launched in January of 1995, at the inception of the 104th
Congress. The leadership of the 104th Congress directed the Library of
Congress to make federal legislative information freely available to the
public. Since that time, THOMAS has expanded the scope of its offerings to
include bills and resolutions, activity in Congress, the Congressional
Record, schedules and calendars of the House and Senate, committee
information, presidential nominations, treaties, legislative and other
government resources, and resources for teachers. (Posted June 1996;
