Welcome to the Searchable Archives page. These archives are large collections of court opinions and public laws already published in individual files elsewhere on our website. Instructions on how to use these archives are provided, both in Acrobat and Wordperfect formats.

The ".exe" files are self-executing zipfiles that will install large numbers of searchable documents in acrobat format, in the new folder "c:\LRC Archives\" on your hard drive.

For quick & easy download, simply click on the red links, which will automatically place the entire set of archives and instructions onto your hard drive ("c:\LRC Archives\").

Besides using the (Boolean) search button to search all cases at once, you can locate any individual opinion by filename (year-month-day & case number, i.e. 00-12-26 A99-0036) and view or print it with Acrobat Reader.

NOTE:

Page Numbers: Slip opinion page numbers appear at page bottom if the document was scanned from a hardcopy. However, documents generated from Wordperfect files contain page numbers inserted in boldface brackets. Electronically generated opinion documents with paragraph numbers do not contain page numbers, so as to avoid discrepancies in print.

Download Time: We have done everything possible to minimize the size of these downloads. A 28kps modem may achieve an actual transfer rate of only 2.5 kilobytes per second. At this rate each megabyte of filesize may take seven minutes to download. A 56kps modem would double the transfer rate and thus halve the download time. Remember, just as grass grows while you watch TV, file downloading is automatic and you can do something else (even on the same computer) while the download completes.
