Emory University's School of Law provides a clickable map of 
the U.S. to locate federal appellate court opinions.  Texts of 
the decisions from various circuits and the Supreme Court are 
prepared, archived, and distributed by a coalition of law 
schools throughout the country in cooperation with the 
appellate courts.  Although Fifth Circuit cases are available 
from 1992 and the Supreme Court has coverage from 1990, 
most of the circuits' coverage starts in 1995.  Circuit opinions 
are accessible chronologically, by first or second party name, 
or keyword searching.  Some circuit opinions are retrievable by 
docket number.  Older appellate court decisions may be found 
using (West's) Federal Reporter [DH Hill KF105.F42 (1883=AD)].  
Supreme Court opinions may be researched using United States 
Reports [DH Hill Documents Ju6.8: (1931- )] or United States 
Supreme Court Reports, Lawyers Edition [DH Hill Documents 
Ju6.8:L (1754-1978) or (West's) Supreme Court Reporter [DH 
Hill Reference KF101.A322 (1883=AD)].
