Google Scholar (Case Law mode) — the search engine you already know, repurposed

Most people don't realise Google Scholar has a dedicated case-law mode: select "Case law" before searching, and it becomes a free full-text search of millions of US court opinions (with a smaller but real footprint in other countries), complete with "cited by" citation tracking. Not built for legal research specifically, but free, fast, and already familiar to almost everyone.
