Access to online briefs

Articles by Heidi Yelk and Angela Sanfilippo in the newsletter from the Wisconsin State Law Library provided me with a starting point for my blog today. They shared the methods of access to Wisconsin briefs both online and in their library. Wisconsin has electronic access to 15 years of state court appellate briefs and "a respectable archive" of 7th Circuit federal court briefs. That made me think about availability of briefs in Wyoming as well as where to look for access in other jurisdictions. Here in Wyoming, we rely on our indefatigable Court Clerks to help us gain access to court records as we need them. The Judiciary web page lists the Supreme Court clerk, District Court , and Circuit Court clerks for your convenience. Heidi answered my question about other jurisdictions with her link to the interactive article by Michael Whiteman called Free and Fee Based Appellate Court Briefs Online . Paul Bush's article, What Isn't Available Using CM/ECF is actually a helpful list of categories that help to further define when research will take you offline in other jurisdictions.
