Quicksilver and legal research
Quicksilver is at least 17 kinds of badass. One of Quicksilver’s awesomest features is web searching. Basically, you search for “***” (three asterisks) and save the result as a bookmark. Below are the law-related searches I use on a regular basis. The URLs are pretty ugly, so I’ve hidden them as the hrefs to the links—just right-click on a link, copy, and paste the URL into your bookmarks.
- LexisNexis (search for case by reporter, e.g., 198 U.S. 45)
- Westlaw (search for case by reporter, e.g., 198 U.S. 45)
- USPTO (search by their advanced search, e.g., pn/<patent_number>)
- Legal Information Institute (general search)
- LII U.S. Code (<title>/<section>, e.g., 28/1441 for 28 U.S.C. § 1441)
