Georgia State University's Meta-Index for U.S. Legal Research
http://gsulaw.gsu.edu/metaindex/
An excellent tool for finding that elusive piece of legal information on the Web. The Meta-Index lets you search judicial sources such as U.S. Supreme Court Syllabi and legislative sources such as the Thomas site at the Library of Congress. Visitors can also search non-legal sites such as Harvest and Lycos. It may not be very pretty, but it works well. Courtesy of Georgia State University College of Law.
